Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Very Good
SP Luthier Notes: There is a headstock crack repair. The neck has been refinished. Custom carved bridge. Most of the original parts on this guitar have been replaced.
Capturing the essence of jazz and blues royalty, this Gibson ES-175 1957 features a fully hollow laminated maple body and top paired with a solid mahogany neck. A 20-fret rosewood fingerboard sits atop an ebony bridge base, while nickel Deluxe tuners trim the headstock. Outfitted with dual Seymour Duncan humbuckers, independent volume and tone controls, and a 3-way toggle switch, it dispenses velvety warm lows and smooth articulate highs. Tipping the scales at a comfortable 6 lbs 8 oz, this iconic archtop includes a padded gig bag for easy transport.
