With Gibson no longer producing ES-175 models, it is getting harder and harder to find them in such great shape as this one. From Gibson's 'good wood' era in the 90s and early oughts, this '97 model comes with exceptional flame maple including factory upgraded gold hardware. It plays perfectly and sounds exactly as you'd expect a ES-175 to operate, it plays like butter all up and down the neck for all of your jazz lines. It is in great condition with no history or repairs, very clean besides light playwear to the finish shown in the provided photos. Serial #92417342, comes with the original case.
