The Gibson ES-175 1984 Sunburst Electric Guitar is a classic right-handed electric guitar from the renowned Gibson brand. This model features a hollow maple body with a rosewood fretboard, offering a smooth and warm tone perfect for jazz and blues players. Interestingly, this one has mahogany back and sides, which is not unheard of but not as common as the usual maple. With its vintage look and high-quality construction, this guitar is a timeless choice for musicians looking for a reliable and stylish instrument. The original Bigsby vibrato tailpiece and tune-o-matic bridge are also included.
It has scratching on the pickguard as well as light scratches and a few small dings and dents from years of play but no major cosmetic issues, apart from a few patches of finish clouding. Fret wear is minimal and the electronics work well and sound great. Currently set up with flat wound strings, playability is excellent, and the tone is lovely, warm and sweet, just what you want from this style of guitar.
