Gibson Memphis Historic '59 ES-175D Reissue - Vintage Natural VOS (2017)
Gibson Memphis 2017 ES-175D '59 Historic, Vintage Natural VOS
Built like they did in 1959, the guitar features a pair of the much lauded MHS (Memphis Historic Spec) PAF Humbuckers combined with vintage-style thinner laminates for a lighter, more resonant instrument.
First re-issued in 2012, this November 2017 production (verified by Gibson) model is fully refined and fully realized, and the final re-issue to date of this legendary Jazz box (I've not seen a more recent production example). With great attention to detail including touches like replica cotton rim stays, precise binding dimensions, period correct "ZigZag" tailpiece made on the original building forms, hot hide glue construction, historic trussrod, and a deluxe 50s accurate Lifton hardshell case.
