The Gibson ES-140T thinline archtop was introduced in 1956 - replacing the deeper bodied ES-140 which had been made since 1950. The single P-90 pickup ES-140T was a three-quarter sized thinline version of the Gibson ES-175, designed for younger players or those with otherwise small hands. Like the ES-175 it had an all maple laminate body and mahogany neck. This model was discontinued in the late 1960s.
