| Comments | This is a fantastic example of a 1960 ES-175 D. Gibson began production of the ES-175 in 1949 as a mid-price, laminate alternative to the L-5. In 1953, the D model was introduced, featuring two pickups, and in 1957, the new PAF humbucking pickups started appearing on production models. The 175 has been used by many artists, from jazz to rock and back again. This guitar is very clean, plays very well, and sounds great. |
