Sound Pure's Take

Condition: Used, Excellent

SP Luthier Notes: This instrument has been carefully inspected and, if necessary, serviced by our certified luthier to be ensure it is in excellent playing condition. 

The Gibson 1959 ES-175 is a timeless hollowbody that delivers warm, rich tone with unmistakable vintage character. Its maple body produces a full, resonant voice with smooth lows and clear, singing highs, while the classic PAF humbuckers add depth, warmth, and beautifully dynamic response. The mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard provide a comfortable, familiar feel that invites expressive playing across styles. With its elegant single cutaway design and gloss finish, it captures the essence of a true golden-era instrument. Smooth, soulful, and incredibly responsive, this ES-175 is a standout performer and a smart long-term investment for serious players!
