Live demo recorded by @Jordan_Thomas at PREMIER GUITARS in Sydney
This is the guitar that started it all - an original 1938 Gibson ES 150, which is a fine example of one of the first electric guitars in history. With a Gibson ES-150 in his hands, Charlie Christian showed the world what the electric guitar was capable of in the Benny Goodman Sextet - putting electric guitar in the spotlight a solo instrument. The big warm sound that comes from the ‘Charlie Christian’ pickup is glorious. It is widely argued that this pickup is the greatest jazz pickup ever designed, and it’s not hard to see why. The cost of manufacturing these pickups proved unfeasible and a more economical pickup – the P90 took its place in later years. These early ES 150 really are the holy grail of early electric jazz guitars.
The guitar is being played directly through a Lazy J - J20 amplifier
