The Story

Used Custom Shop 1959 ES-175 VOS Electric Guitar Vintage Burst

Here is a pre-owned and still in excellent condition Gibson Custom Shop recreation of the '59 ES-175. The guitar has a VOS finish to give it a slightly aged patina, with aged split parallelogram inlays to match. With the '57 Classic humbuckers it can even pump out some Rock and Roll when pushed into a light overdrive. This is a fantastic instrument that will be be a welcome addition to any Jazzbox--or rock and roller's collection. The guitar is in overall excellent shape with little wear on it, and includes the original case and certificate of authenticity.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
