Found this on Ebay--Freddy King's original '67 Gibson ES-355 up for sale:

Here is the man himself playing the guitar (very well, I might add...)




and a different, but similar guitar...


ps...apparently King and his roadie couldn't spell "Fragile" either. I guess what he lacked in spelling he made up for in Tone-to-die-for

$47,500.00. More than Freddie made in any year until about '65...

Whups. I misspelled Freddie's name! Damn Ebay seller misspelled it, and threw me off. You'd think for $47K they'd want to get that straight.

You are definitely right, Paul. Probably far after '65 too....most of these old blues cats got the short straw in the finances dept.

WOW! I'd definitely want one of those!
