Introducing the immaculate, all-original 1956 Gibson ES-175 – a true exemplar of vintage mastery that has aged gracefully over the decades. This guitar, a harmonious blend of Gibson’s iconic archtop design and P-90 pickups, set the standard for amplified guitar tone throughout the ‘50s and continues to influence the music scene today.

First introduced in 1949 as a mid-level archtop, the ES-175’s all-laminate construction not only made it an affordable choice but also marked it as the first Kalamazoo design to feature a Florentine cutaway. The dual pickup D model was introduced to the world in 1953, creating a wave of admiration among music enthusiasts.

This 1956 model, finished in an optional Blonde that would have cost an extra $280 back in 1955 (compared to the $265 standard sunburst), is a testament to the guitar’s history and charm. It showcases a symphony of delicate weather checking and a hint of play wear that only adds to its rich heritage story.

Featuring a robust full-neck profile and a pair of original P90 pickups, this lightweight marvel delivers a resonant, powerful sound that is pure joy to play. All its parts are original, underscoring its authenticity and exceptional preservation.

This guitar signifies the end of an era, the last year Gibson used P90 pickups before transitioning to humbucking pickups. Its sound is not just music, but a crystal-clear, smooth melody that only a vintage classic can produce.

The icing on the cake? This Gibson ES-175 comes with brown Gibson vintage case. This is not just an instrument; it’s a piece of Gibson history waiting to be owned, ready to create new harmonies and continue its storied legacy. Don’t miss your chance!
