This is a vintage Japanese 1960s Kawai ES175 Jumbo "lawsuit" acoustic Archtop guitar w/ added vintage Japanese new/old stock Kent WC-16 monkey on a stick pickup, with the original box and unused original cable, guitars original hardshell case included. This guitar is in excellent condition, very few marks and plays great. Sounds great paired with the Japanese Kent pickup from the same era, similar sound to Wes Montgomery/George Benson/Kenny Burrell 60's sound. A small repair was done to the binding where the cutaway meets the neck, but it is barely visible. Not sure if it will even show up in the pictures. It came with a metal bridge that has been replaced with an ebony bridge, and sounds much better. The old one will be included in the case. If you are looking to get that vintage sound for thousands less than a Gibson, this is a great option. Please check out the video for a full description and sound sample. https://youtu.be/4qps3LAYALk Happy Bidding!
