The 1961 Gibson ES-175 D is a classic hollow-body electric guitar that has more than stood the test of time. This vintage instrument features a beautifully ambered sunburst finish and a warm, resonant tone that is perfect for jazz, blues, and rockabilly styles. The ES-175 D is known for its comfortable playability and instantly recognizable sound, making it a favorite among professional musicians and collectors alike. This particular model is equipped with '80s or '90s Gibson Reissue PAF pickups, adding to its vintage appeal and delivering that sought-after warm, smooth tone.

Features:

  1. Classic sunburst finish
  2. Hollow-body design for rich, resonant tone
  3. Gibson Reissue PAF pickups for vintage sound
  4. Comfortable playability
  5. Ideal for jazz, blues, and rockabilly styles


Notes:
This 1961 Gibson ES-175 Hollow Body Electric Guitar is in Very Good condition, part of a climate-controlled, family collection, with visible wear (pictured) consistent with 63 year age and appropriate live, home, and recording use. Pickups are '80s or '90s Gibson PAF Reissues, and more than deliver exactly the warm, articulate vintage PAF tone we're looking for in an ES-175 D of this era. Schaller bridge and "speed" knobs professionally installed, likely decades ago. Does not include original bridge or knobs. Does not include pickguard. Includes non-original, era-correct fitted case. 

All instruments from the Old Town School Music Store are professionally evaluated in our climate-controlled storefront before shipping, and directly support the missions, programs, and continued growth of the Old Town School of Folk Music.
