While instrument makers may aim for, and even market, certain nut widths for their models, we acknowledge variance within the manufacturing process and treat each instrument as an individual case. We believe that transparency of the instrument’s true measurements, down to decimal form, is essential for customers choosing to purchase remotely with confidence. The following are common industry nut width fractions converted to decimal form

  • 1 9/16”: 1.563”

  • 1 5/8”: 1.625”

This is a fantastic archtop from the Golden era of Gibson. It has incredibly rich acoustic properties that are present wether you play it unplugged or plugged into an amp. This guitar has recently been refretted and has a very small spot of touch up in the finish, but is otherwise in original condition. This ES-175 has a very comfortable full C profile that makes for easy playing up and down the neck. The original P-90 pickups have great clarity and offer a warm, balanced tone that is perfect for jazz and blues. The ES-175D is a versatile double pickup guitar that can bridge smooth jazz tones with biting country and even rock tones.

OHSC included.
