1968 Gibson ES-175D - Sunburst - Original case & PAF’s - Free Shipping!

The good:

  • Original PAF's w/ orginial humbucker rings
  • Original electronics
  • Original tuners (some have a slight bend/wobble to them - fully functional)
  • Original frets
  • Original case

The bad:

  • Needs a neck reset (ski jump past the 12th fret)

The guitar plays well up the neck up until the 12th fret. Ideally this guitar should have a neck reset. We are selling it as-is. We cleaned it up, checked out all internals, and restrung it with D'Addario 10's. This guitar came into our shop with heavier strings on it, so it may have been stored that way to cause the issue. All the electronics are original and fully functional (no scratchy pots). Really incredible fingerboard wear, and it still plays clean through the 1st few frets! Plenty of pictures available (more upon request). Ask any questions and we'll get right back to you!
