Tolvanen ES175 Gibson Copy 1990 - Black/Sunburst

This is a ‘Rare One of’ beautiful Gibson ES175 modified clone by Australian Luthier Timo Tolvanen with a custom decal headstock!

It has a low profile short scale mahogany 12” radius neck with a rosewood fretboard and 32mm bone nut.

It originally had a floating bridge set up, like a Gibson, which are notorious for slipping, vibrating and going out of tune.

Most people anchor the bridge down through various after market methods!

I, in my wisdom, converted it into a tune-o-matic hard tail style bridge which works well with the solid wood block down the middle. 

I swapped the pick-ups out for Seymour Duncan ‘59 in the neck and JB in the bridge. 

This transformed the guitar into a Solid ‘Jazz Rock’ guitar.

The tuners were upgraded for Gold Grover’s and the frets re-levelled and re-crowned. Which allowed optimisation for a very low action with No fret buzz!

New CTS control pots with new tone caps were also upgraded.

Comes with new D’Addario EXL125 9 to 46 gauge strings and a leather adjustable strap with Schaller strap locks plus a Solid Custom plush lined Hard Case!
