1956 Gibson ES-175 D

 

  • Year: 1956
  • Manufacturer: Gibson
  • Model: ES-175 D
  • Case: Original Hard
  • Color: sunburst
  • Condition: Excellent
  • Description: (just sold!)Super clean and very lightweight. Fixed arm Bigsby. Very minimal checking. Its pretty, and sounds lovely. Green lined brown case. Next to no fretwear. There aren't too many cleaner than this one. All original, but evidence of a trapeze tailpiece at one time. This Bigsby is era-correct though, so I think its original. I have a nickel tailpiece I'll be listing seperately, so if you don't want the panic-button (Gil created it), I can swap the Bigsby for a correct tailpiece. You can't have both, unless you pay me. I love you guys. You can play jazz or rockabilly on this. You could probably play hip-hop on it too. I don't judge. I'll upload better pics soon. Or you can just ask me.
