This is a well preserved ES-175 perfect for those R9 Les Paul lovers, who like 50's necks.  Dual 57 classic pickups.  Electronics work well, and plays like butter.  Rosewood fretboard with very minor fret wear.  See photos.  there is minor checking throughout the finish, which is an off alpine white / eggshell gloss.  The hardware is gold.  There is some corrosion etc which is expected on a 27 year old guitar.  Please see photos.  No inner label on this guitar.  Embossed SN on back of headstock indicates 1990.  Neck is nice and full.  This guitar is the favorite of Joe Pass and may others. Florentine cutaway.  Dual controls for volume and tone for each pickup.  Very little checking for such an old piece.  It is in near mint condition.  The case has 2 broken buckles.  One a latch, and the other part of the buckle . If we locate them we will include replacements in the case.  We stand behind our products satisfaction guaranteed. Returns for inaccurate listing OK,  otherwise may be a 5% restocking fee.  Please look closely at the color.  It is hard to match in photographs.  It is not white, and it is not brilliant yellow.  Sort of an egg-shell light yellow that comes with age of alpine white. The fret wires are original and show almost no wear.  See photos.
