2001 Gibson Brands ES-175 Natural, Near Mint, Original Hard, $3,100.00

Offered for sale;

Used 2001 Gibson ES-175 serial number 2451466. This guitar is in excellent to near mint condition. The neck and frets are fine, cosmetically very clean.

We sold it new to the original owner in 2001. He rarely played it and traded it in for a new G&L ASAT Classic. This guitar is truly beautiful and very lively acoustically.

Gibson states this quite well;

“When the ES-175 debuted with a run of 129 in 1949, it nudged aside the ES-150, which had been the guitar of choice for jazz innovators like Charlie Christian and Eddie Durham. The ES-175 also proved a more manageable and less costly alternative to the L-5s thanks to its smaller body size and laminated top.”

“The modern recreation of this great guitar made by Gibson’s Memphis Custom Shop craftspeople owes its lineage to the ES-175 of ’57. The body is a comfortable 16-inches wide, 20-inches long and 3-inches deep with a curly laminated maple top, back, and rims. There’s multi-ply binding on top and single-ply on the back, with nickel hardware including an ABR-1 bridge and a trapeze tailpiece.

The Gibson Memphis ES-175’s one-piece mahogany neck supports the same 20-fret rosewood fingerboard that the guitar’s always offered, with beautiful pearl split parallelogram inlays, single-ply binding and the distinctive, comfortable classic ES-175 neck profile. Scale length is 24 3/4-inches with a 1 11/16-inch width at the nut. The frets are Pleck’d and the tuners are vintage tulip style. The pickups are Gibson’s versatile workhorses: ’57 Classic humbuckers – controlled by two volume and two tone pots and a three-way selector switch.

Own a great guitar!

If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.
