1950 Gibson ES-175
Laminate maple 16" hollow full depth cut-away body, sunburst finish, single P-90 pickup in the neck position, rosewood bridge and bound fingerboard, pearloid parallelogram inlays, and crown headstock inlay. Triple raised parallelogram nickel tailpiece, tall barrel knobs, and 5 ply pickguard. Tuning machines are covering up enlarged post holes and footprints left from the Grovers that were once on the guitar, and the headstock face shows the faint outline of the larger washer's footprints.
Round and comfortable early 1950's neck profile -- a little less substantial in feel to the necks on later 1950's Gibsons. 24.75" scale length, 1-11/16 nut width.
With original hardshell case
