Description

This ES-175D from Gibson's beloved Memphis factory brings bluesy jazz box tone and top tier construction. The unique 'burst on it immediately catches the eye atop a nicely figured maple top. We cleaned up some excessive patina, set it up nicely, and replaced a dead '57 Classic in the neck with a 490R. Cosmetically, the body and neck are in very good shape, but there is some finish melting, likely from stand rash at the bottom of the headstock, and some finish wear above and below the Gibson logo.

Includes OHSC.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
