Up for sale is a 1979 Gibson ES-175D in its original natural blonde finish. This example is in amazing condition and is bone stock! It does have a "second" stamp on the back of the headstock and although this guitar is stamped factory second, it is in remarkable condition for its age, showing little signs of finish wear and play-wear. Historically Gibson would mark guitars factory second that had some sort of ding or finish flaw when it left the factory. Being this guitar is now 45 years old it is impossible to tell what the original ding or flaw was. This example is entirely original and has been professionally set up in house by our esteemed tech. This stunning ES-175 ships with its original hardshell case, from which some of the trim is peeling. Weight: 7lbs. 2oz.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:

We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings.  Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so.  We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument.  Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing. 

We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear.  If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us at the Shop for a complete in-hand description and to answer any questions you may have.  Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
