The "ES-175" is a model that has carved its name into history as the standard of Gibson archtops. The 16-inch laminated maple body style is one of the standards for archtop guitars and is a guideline for all manufacturers. This instrument was made in 1976 during the so-called "Norlin period." It has a large head, a shallow 14-degree head angle, Kluson "Gibson Deluxe" tuners, a maple 3-piece neck, chrome hardware, and "engraved numbered". The "narrow neck" of about 38 mm that was adopted around 1965 has already returned to a width of 42.9 mm, and the "regular wide neck" can be held comfortably even by those who are used to playing recent models. It is a good shape that is moderately thin and suitable for all players. The laminated body has a fun attack with the compression that is typical of the 175. The maple neck gives it a rough sound image, but it also has a bright and dry tone, and the crisp feel of the guitar goes perfectly with a muddy sound with a bit of drive. There are small scratches and some nice paint wear, but nothing that noticeably damages the appearance or causes structural problems. The pegs have been replaced with side rig style pegs such as Schaller. Please feel free to contact us for other details. The neck is in good condition, including the rod adjustment, and the original frets are low, typical of this era, but there are no noticeable dents or clogging, and the action is set to be comfortable to play. The current model of the "175" has not been produced for a while, and this guitar has a unique character with specifications unique to this era. Please consider purchasing it. Original hard case included.
