As a reissue of the classic 1950s ES-5, this guitar features a full-sized, laminated maple hollow body, giving it a warm, resonant jazz tone that is also versatile. The Switchmaster is notable for its three humbucker pickups, each with its own volume/tone control, offering a wide range of tonal possibilities. The guitar's distinctive feature is its four-way pickup selector switch, allowing players to choose between each pickup independently or combine them all together. This one has held up well over the years, showing only minor signs of previous use. The action is set up in a medium spot and feels comfortable to play. It also comes with the original Gibson hard case.

The Gibson ES-5 Switchmaster, introduced in 1949, is an electric guitar that brought several innovative features to market. Notably, its three P-90 single-coil pickups offer a wide range of tonal options, and the multiple volume and tone controls allow for fine-tuned sound customization. The ES-5 Switchmaster is often noted for its elegant maple body and luxurious gold-plated hardware. Its unique three-pickup setup and double Venetian cutaway design make it a distinguished model in Gibson's lineup.
