FS - Gibson ES-175 1956 Single P90 £SOLD

What's Hot

edited March 2023 in Guitars £
Reluctantly selling this lovely 1956 single pickup ES-175. You don't see the single pickup ones about that often.
The serial is late '56 and the FON dates it to '56. The burst looks closer to a '57 burst than a '56.
Light checking all over with dings here and there but in really good condition for its age, has a nice dark Brazilian rosewood fretboard. Currently has a bareknuckle p90 fitted but have the old one too (although just checked this with my multimeter and it reads quite low so may have been replaced because of this). The pots have been changed for newer ones (like that when I bought it) and it has a minor repair near the jack socket. No breaks.
Comes in non original case.
It sounds incredible a lovely woody tone as you would expect. Looking for £4095 collected.

    I am so glad I’m miles from Bristol.  I don’t imagine I’m the only one who immediately checks its location!  Beautiful thing.

    I immediately checked my balance to see if £5k had miraculously appeared. It had not :(

    After yesterday’s TPS live stream it might be worth contacting Dan at the Gigrig to see if he would be interested in this!

    Really lovely and a bit of a bargain I reckon. I have one from same year and the way the notes pop on these things is very hard to replicate on any other guitar.

  • Can drive and meet at service stations if distance is a problem! Can ship also but prefer buyer to see the guitar first...

    A birth year guitar for me, and one I would love to own for sure, retirement and a recent (costly)  house move is a bit of a stumbling block at present :/
