Materials: Solid maple neck; solid rosewood fingerboard; figured maple top; figured maple sides and back; dual-parallelogram fingerboard inlay and thistle peghead inlay; triple bound top, bound back.Hardware: 100% original hardware includes trapeze tailpiece with raised-parallelogram crossbar; compensated tuneamatic bridge; Gibson humbucking pickups and electronics; beveled 5-ply pickguard; black bonnet knobs; 3 way control switch, adjustable compensated Tunematic bridge; Gibson logo tulip key tuners.Notes: Since its introduction in 1949, the Gibson ES-175 has been the most popular jazz guitar in the world. Originally fitted with a single P-90 pickup, the 175 added a second pickup by 1951, and humbuckers by 1957. This fine example is 100% original, with has a handsome sunburst body, and a figured maple top, back, sides and neck. This guitar has been maintained in immaculate condition, free of cracks, pickwear, thumbwear or finish checking. With immaculate medium jumbo frets, the fingerboard is utterly effortless to play. The 24 3/4" scale is fast and nimble, the twin humbuckers are fat and sweet, and the 16" body is easy to cradle and substantially resistant to feedback.An original Kalamazoo label guitar in superb condition, the instrument is stamped 'Second' on the peghead, for no reason I can determine. (This typically indicated some minor cosmetic issue when new, as Gibson ran any structurally flawed instrument through a bandsaw.) New list is almost $5000 now on these. A great instrument in a distinguished lineage that spans a half century of hard-working guitars.Case: Black plush lined arched hard shell case.
