Vintage Gibson ES-175T in Wine Red finish made in 1978 with Original Hard Shell Case. This guitar features a double bound hollow maple back & sides body with an arched maple top, 3-piece maple neck and bound rosewood fingerboard. Equipped with a set of Gibson '57 Classic humbuckers in the neck and bridge positions. Controlled by 2 volume pots, 2 tone pots and a 3-way toggle switch. The 24.75" scale length neck has pearloid split parallelogram inlays and black side markers with 20 vintage frets on a 12" radius with a slim taper profile. The hardware is comprised of Gibson Vintage Deluxe tuning machines with keystone heads, a corian nut, a Gibson Nashville Tune-O-Matic bridge and black witch hat knobs with a 4 ply black on white pickguard.
This guitar is in overall good condition. At some point in its life the bridge was glued to the body with a second piece of wood, leaving the bridge immobile. The body has finish checking on all sides and there are several dents and indentations. The back has a finish chip and has belt rash. The tuners were changed out leaving small holes near the current tuners. The neck was sanded down to the bare wood at some point. (See pics)
Guitar is freshly setup and restrung with 10-46 strings. Includes Original Hard Shell Case.
