100% stock condition 1981 ES-175D from our recent Kalamazoo Haul. Plays great with a full round neck profile and sounds great fitted with original Tim Shaw humbuckers for excellent tone and touch response. These ES-175D archtops can cover a lot of tonal ground and shine in just about any genre making it a super versatile option for discerning players. This example is virtually untouched and in great overall condition with a slight patina to the hardware from age so it is essentially new-old-stock! Includes original hardshell case.
This instrument came from our recently acquired "Kalamazoo Collection." We acquired the collection from a married couple that worked at the original factory from the late 50s until the factory closed in June of 1984. These pieces are uncirculated and mostly untouched in mint or near-mint condition ~ The collection also includes 1000s of pieces of memorabilia, new-old-stock parts, and more ~ reach out with any/all inquiries!
