A single-owner, previously uncirculated instrument, this guitar has remained remarkably clean for nearly seven decades, retaining its original character, beautiful vintage appointments, and highly desirable original PAF humbucker.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eIntroduced in 1949, the ES-175 became one of Gibson's most iconic jazz guitars, prized for its comfortable full-depth hollowbody construction, warm acoustic response, and articulate amplified tone. By 1958, the introduction of Gibson's legendary PAF humbucker had elevated the model even further. The original PAF in this example delivers the warmth, clarity, and dynamic response that have made these pickups some of the most sought-after in electric guitar history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eOne particularly interesting detail is the set of rare Gibson \"G\" branded tuners. Following Gibson's acquisition of Epiphone in 1957, leftover Epiphone branded tuner stock was repurposed by stamping a line through the original \"E\" to create a \"G.\" These unusual transitional tuners represent a fascinating detail from a brief period in Gibson's history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe guitar is in excellent vintage condition, displaying remarkably little wear for its age. There is some playwear along the neck, along with minor fret and fingerboard wear concentrated in the cowboy chord positions, consistent with decades of careful playing. The overall condition is exceptional, particularly considering its single-owner history.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe original Lifton hardshell case is included, further adding to the completeness and historical appeal of this instrument.
