Not very good pics, but this is the guitar that has been jilted by the Slingerland.
1991 Gibson ES 165 Herb Ellis. I got it used. It might have been a custom order due to the ebony fretboard and cherry red finish, but I don't know. It is early in the first year of the first year of production. These had a fatter neck profile and no Herb Ellis autograph decal on the headstock.
I love this guitar, but it feels like I'm playing a mandolin after playing the old Slingerland.
