Up for sale, a 1991 Orville by Gibson ES-CH in exceptional condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtag. This Orville is an official Gibson-licensed guitar and a result of a partnership between Gibson USA and their Japanese distributor Yamano Gakki. Named after Gibson's founder, Orville Gibson, this discontinued Orville model was crafted at the Terada factory.

The semi-hollow maple construction ensures this ES-CH has great natural resonance and treble chime, weighing 8lbs 4oz. Outfitted with a pair of modern Gibson ‘57 Classic PAFs, these humbuckers deliver smooth treble cut with a touch of growl in the bridge position and a bold, round quality at the neck, harmonically-rich and responsive to user inputs. This ES-CH has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The gloss Cherry finish highlights subtle birdseye figuring in the maple, and cosmetics wear is limited to an area of targeted buckle rash central to the back, a couple minor dings adjacent to the input jack, and just a few faint marks in the clear coat on the body as a whole. The neck profile retains its smooth gloss.

The original black tolex hardshell case is included, along with the serialized hangtag.
