1956 Gibson ES-175 Sunburst, Excellent, Hard, $3,495.00

A really nice handful of everyone’s favorite kind of Gibson ES-175, straight from the 1950s, with a single P-90 pickup in the neck position, just where Wes Montgomery and Herb Ellis loved them. Best original-style refret I’ve ever seen, you’d think they were original and unplayed, which is exactly what you want, ditto perfectly smooth repro tuners; solid rosewood bridge top perfect replacement. Original Gibson P-90 of course, original pickguard (!), even has its original Gibson nickel-plated tailpiece, perfect; playing wear on back of neck. Lovely setup with .012s, wound G as it should be. Feels like the 1950s, plays like the 1950s, sounds like the 1950s, all of which it is. 1950s brown Gibson hard shell case, a little worn. Priced below what a new one costs at only $3495 w/hsc
