Gibson ES-175D 1962 (S.N. 80158)
I’d been quietly looking for one of these guitars for years and was very happy to find this one. It’s a great sounding and playing Gibson ES-175D which was made late 1961/early 1962. It has 2 excellent sounding PAF pickups and is from what is considered the holy grail period of 175s.
I’ve had several humbucker ES175s but this one is by far the best. I still have the Blond 1954 with P90s that I’ve had for years and it’s equally as good but a very different guitar to this one.
Famous players include jazz guitarist Joe Pass and Rock guitarist Steve Howe from Yes. An ES-175 was also used on many Motown recordings.
