This Gibson ES-175 from 1972 is a stunner.  It immediately grabbed my attention when I walked by it at the Dallas guitar show.  I knew it would be a great one for the website.

The guitar is in near mint condition.  It is all original with no issues or repairs.

Gibson made their "patent sticker" pickups like this, with the embossed Gibson logo, for just over a year.  

You won't find a cleaner one!  

Non-original hard case included.
