GIBSON ES-140 3/4

The ES-140 3/4 archtop was introduced in 1950 as a scaled down version of the ES-175. It was not 3/4 of the size of the ES-175 but around 90% of the size (the 3/4 refers to the naming convention from the violin family of instruments). The 22.75 inch scale length was well suited to those with smaller hands, younger beginners or those looking for a more compact traveling instrument. The pickup was a single Gibson P-90. The full thickness body version was made until 1957 - when it was replaced by a thinline version, the ES-140T which was made until 1968.

Like the ES-175 it had an all maple laminate body and mahogany neck. This model was discontinued in the late 1960s.

GIBSON ES-150 (1936-1942)

In 1935, Gibson enlisted musician Alvino Rey to help develop a prototype pickup with engineers at the Chicago Lyon & Healy Co. Later that year, the project was moved to Gibson's factory where Walter Fuller finalised the distinctive hexagonal design. The new pickup was first used on a 1935 lap steel model. The pickup was put on an F-hole archtop guitar, called the ES-150 (ES - Electric Spanish). The first ES-150 shipped from the Gibson factory in Kalamazoo, Michigan, on May 20, 1936.

GIBSON ES-175 (ES75)

The Gibson ES-175 is an archtop electric introduced by Gibson in 1949. The ES-175 was designed to be a cheaper alternative to Gibson's high-end archtop models like the L5 and Super 400. Partly for this reason the ES-175 has an all-laminate body construction. The earliest ES-175s cost $175 (hence the name) and had one single-coil P-90 pickup in the neck position. In 1953, the ES-175D, a two-pickup version, was introduced. The ES-175 came in either natural or sunburst finish. From 1957 ES-175s were fitted with PAF humbucking pickups.

GIBSON ES-240

GIBSON manufactured the ES-240 between 1977 and 1978. According to The Gibson Book, only 3 were shipped. They probably thought that it was too close to the ES-347, and so decided to drop off the ES-240. It's the pre-ES-347, with coil tap switch, and stop tailpiece (back then the ES-335 had a trapeze stock tailpiece).

The ES-250 had a Charlie Christian pickup - with separate blades for each string and a large magnet that continues under the soundboard.  The Gibson ES-250 was a short lived model - only 70 were made, and the model was soon replaced by the ES-300.
