About This Listing

This is a Carlo Robelli (Sam Ash house brand) branded ES-175 copy made by FujiGen in Japan- around ‘73-75 is my best guess. In any event, the guitar is approximately 50 years old which is pretty impressive. It is the same build as the Ibanez 2355m from that same early ‘70s time period. It looks good cosmetically and plays well- but needs new strings and a little set up. It has a floating bridge. The original tuners are not great. Electronics are all functional- the toggle works in reverse of what I’d expect (the bridge position is toggle pointed towards headstock on this guitar). It has some common finish cracks around the neck joint (pictured) but does not have any structural issues. It comes with the case pictured which I bought from guitarfetish 6-7 years ago when I bought the guitar. I do have the pickguard but it’s missing the top screw. It’s a great guitar- can do Steve Howe for days. Unfortunately, it just never sees any action with me because I enjoy playing acoustic guitar these days. It’s basically been a case queen since I got it. Will ship to continental US.
