Pick your jaw up off the floor and wipe away the drool. You have just landed upon the sexiest guitar on the block, this beauty is an honerable homage to a late 50's/early 60's Gibson ES-175, hailing from the glory days of Orville by Gibson. This near pristine condition beauty, was exquisitely crafted by the finest luthiers of the world famous FujiGen factory in 1992. This guitar is beyond perfect with a professional set up that truly leaves it playing and sounding stage or studio worthy. I would compare this beauty to a top of the line late 50's style Gibson ES-175 reissue, delivering a sounds that is as rich as a trust fund baby. This guitar delivers sonic mojo, thanks in part to the hand picked tone-woods, which include a maple body with maple center-block, a three-piece hard maple neck, and a bound super dark rosewood fretboard. It is in excellent vintage condition with very little wear. It does have a strap button hole that was filled in on the side of the body, it is now smooth to the touch. It also has a little scratch on the face of the headstock (see pics) This is a premier example of why people in the know rave about premium vintage Japanese guitars. They simply were making some of the best guitar ever produced. Bring this beauty home and you truly put a gem in your collection.

Return Policy, Restocking Fees & No Tire-Kicking Policy 

We follow Reverb’s 7-day return policy. However:  

- You must notify us in writing within 3 days of delivery (per tracking) of your intent to return.  

- Original shipping and return shipping costs are not refunded unless the guitar is damaged in transit or is significantly not as described.

We record demo videos of every guitar before shipping to document exact condition and performance. Additional photos, measurements, or in-hand descriptions are available upon request prior to purchase.  

Minor adjustments and tweaks to a set up (for example to correct a slight buzz or truss-rod tweak) are normal after shipping due to carrier mishandling the package, climate & atmospheric changes, especially when moving from South Florida to colder or less humid environments. These slight issues do not constitute “significantly not as described.” Guitars must be returned in the exact same condition as received/advertised or additional repair/restocking fees will apply.  

We are a small business, not a big-chain retailer. We invest significant time and effort into every guitar. This is a NO TIRE-KICKING shop. There is no post purchase haggling or partial refunds. If minor cosmetic marks, tiny imperfections, or the possibility of a post-shipping setup tweak makes you uncomfortable, please do not buy. Plenty of large retailers offer free trials and can absorb shipping costs—we do not.
