About this listing
Gibson Memphis 2017 ES-175D '59 Historic, Vintage Natural VOSBuilt like they did in 1959, the guitar features a pair of the much lauded MHS (Memphis Historic Spec) PAF Humbuckers combined with vintage-style thinner laminates for a lighter, more resonant instrument. First re-issued in 2012, this November 2017 production (verified by Gibson) model is fully refined and fully realized, and the final re-issue to date of this legendary Jazz box (I've not seen a more recent production example). With great attention to detail including touches like replica cotton rim stays, precise binding dimensions, period correct "ZigZag" tailpiece made on the original building forms, hot hide glue construction, historic trussrod, and a deluxe 50s accurate Lifton hardshell case.Specs:Body: Maple/Poplar/MapleNeck: One-piece MahoganyFingerboard: Dark Rosewood with Aged Celluloid Split Parallelogram InlaysNeck Profile: Medium CNeck Thickness: 1st approx: 0.9"; 12th approx: 1.0"Fingerboard Radius: 12"Nut Width: 1-11/16Scale Length: 24 3/4"Pickups: MHS Humbuckers VOS Nickel Wiring: MTC Historic: 2 volumes, 2 tones, 1 toggle switch, hand-wired with matched 550K potentiometers and Bumblebee capacitorsPick Guard: Multi ply black ES-175 with 45° bevel (VOS)Bridge: VOS Rosewood (in case), VOS ABR-1 Nickel (on guitar)Tailpiece: VOS ZigZag Tuners: VOS Kluson NickelCase: Lifton Historic Hardshell CaseIncludes original Gibson Memphis certificate of authenticity.
