Here is an exceptional example of a 1956 Gibson ES-175D.

First off, this guitar is stamped "2" on the back of the headstock denoting factory second.

The tuners have at least half swapped to reproduction. 

All the electronics appear to be original.

There is weather checking all around the guitar.

There are a few small dings, dents, scrapes.

FON number is very hard to make out, but does starts with V

Includes original Lifton hardshell case.
