Gibson ES-175D Hollowbody 1963 - Sunburst

Gibson ES-175D Model Arch Top Hollowbody Electric Guitar (1963), made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, sunburst lacquer finish, laminated maple body, mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, hard shell case.

Popular with both Joe Pass and Steve Howe, these guitars have a super slim neck with a wide nut, all wood bridge (Brazilian Rosewood) and a mahogany neck with Brazilian Rosewood fretboard. Single ring Kluson tuners and a classic zig-zag tailpiece complete the package.

The lacquer on the body has crazed, giving it serious vintage vibes and there is a bit of stand burn on the neck (photo) and what looks like a very Clapton-esque cigarette burn near the nut, but it's totally gigable as well as being super-collectable. At over 60 years old this lovely guitar still knows how to sing.
