Description

This 1962 Gibson ES-175D, a double-pickup hollowbody originally designed for jazz, stands out for its early use of Gibson's legendary humbuckers—introduced to this model in 1957. This example features an PAF in the neck and a patent number pickup in the bridge, both original to the guitar and untouched. While it's a jazz staple, its rich, warm tone makes it just as appealing for rock and country players. The guitar is all original except for a replaced ABR-1 bridge and an added strap pin at the heel. Overall, it's in excellent condition with moderate playwear and a slightly bent high E tuning machine. Includes a non-original hardshell case.
