Original 1959 Gibson ES 175D.  This 57 year old guitar  has the great tone woods from the Gibson Golden years.  The great ones get played and this is a fine example.    Beautiful Brazilian fingerboard, nice chunky neck profile, no breaks, lots of natural finish checking. There is some wear on the fingerboard from playing and the frets are in good shape.  The binding at the bottom of the horn has shrunk and separated (3rd pic). It is not the wood but just the binding.  The pickups, tuners, pots, knobs and harness are repro parts.   Original parts are: pickguard, bridge, pickup rings,  tail piece, truss rod cover, strap buttons, all woods (body, neck, fingerboard), binding, inlays, nut. Non original parts: tuners, OX4 PAF style pickups, switch, switch tip, knobs, pots, input jack & harness.40 HD Pics of this guitar at:  http://s967.photobucket.com/user/boogieongtr/library/1959%20ES175D   Here is my website:    If you want more info on this guitar  you can  email me thru my website.Buyer to pay $65. shipping & insurance to lower 48 states,  No international shipping.
