1957 Gibson ES-175 (blonde, '57 Classic PAFs w/ aged DMC covers)

Description

I had had this one in stock previously - one of the previous owners decided to keep the original PAF pickups and sell the guitar. Currently, it is equipped with Gibson '57 Classic humbuckers with super authentic aged DMC Covers. It sounds fantastic still, really close to my own original 1959 ES-175! Without the PAFs, the guitar is now a lot more affordable, yet it is still a great investment, as it's value will rise in proportion to an all original example. Professionally refretted, reliable repro tuners. There is a small round-shaped repair in the pickguard, which has been there for decades and does not bother at all. Comes with both a wooden bridge and an additional aged nickel plated repro ABR-1 bridge. + + + Comes with original brown case (handle replaced), CITES certificate, Guitar Point spec sheet.
