1956 Gibson ES-175

Serial # A 23733. A one owner single pickup ES-175 in beautiful condition. It's almost as good as they come, it's only strike being screw-holes left behind from a different tailpiece. The current tailpiece is original 1956 issue, though, so there's a bit of a mystery. Otherwise, the guitar is 100% straight, with gorgeous original finish, original P-90 and wiring harness, original tuners, nut, frets, pickguard, bridge, and control knobs.

Finish is in excellent condition, with light wear. Neck is straight, frets level, neck angle excellent. No issues of any kind.

Original case is in excellent condition as well.
