The Story

Used 2015 Memphis 1959 ES-175 VOS Electric Guitar Natural

Here we have a pre-owned 2015 Gibson Memphis 1959 ES-175 VOS electric guitar with a natural finish. First introduced to the world in 1949 with a single P-90 configuration, the guitar continuously progressed over the years until it finally hit a high-point both in tone and looks, when in 1959 the guitar featured two humbucking pickups along with the looks of the "zig-zag" tailpiece. The guitar has a VOS finish to give it a slightly aged patina, with aged split parallelogram inlays to match. With the MHS humbuckers it can even pump out some Rock and Roll when pushed into a light overdrive. This guitar is in very good shape and includes the original hardshell case along with the certificate of authenticity.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
