1961 Gibson ES-175D – Sunburst
We present an all original 1961 Gibson ES-175D in Sunburst. Made in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
In 1961, only 406 ES-175 archtop electric guitars were produced in the Sunburst finish. This Gibson ES-175D is in excellent condition, showing only minor nicks, dings, and cosmetic wear. No breaks or repairs!
The original finish is a classic Tobacco Sunburst, featuring some light finish checking. It is equipped with two outstanding-sounding PAF pickups that are well-balanced and deliver a fantastic tone. These original factory pickups are undisturbed, untouched, and have never been removed. The guitar features a one-piece mahogany neck with a dark rosewood fingerboard and split parallelogram inlays. It has an adjustable rosewood bridge and its original Zig Zag tailpiece. A truly amazing archtop from Gibson’s golden era.
It’s 100% original throughout – Just like it left the Kalamazoo factory back in 1961.
The pickups and electronics remain completely untouched and original, with no broken solder joints and no rewound pickups. 100% original and correct throughout.
Includes the original brown hardshell case with pink interior. All latches and the handle are fully functional.
Professionally set up in our workshop here at Guitar Hunter.
