Bay Area Vintage Guitars is proud to offer this 1965 Gibson ES-175 in sunburst finish with the original hardshell case.

Celebrated for its warm, resonant tones and smooth playability, it is a favorite among Guitarists for its versatility and expressive sound. The sunburst finish is visually stunning and highlights its sleek archtop design, enhancing the aesthetic appeal with gradients of deep browns and vibrant amber hues.

There’s plenty of Rock 'n Roll tone from these guitars, as was ably demonstrated by Joe Pass, Creedence Clearwater Revival’s John Fogerty, Yes guitarist Steve Howe, and Guns N’ Roses’ Izzy Stradlin.

This all-original ES-175 is equipped with original patent-number pickups, known for their clear, rich sound. These pickups can deliver everything from crisp, clean jazz lines to thicker, bluesy growls.

Whether played on stage or treasured in a collection, this Gibson ES-175 is a piece of music history that resonates with guitar enthusiasts worldwide.

The photos highlight only a few blemishes that do not detract from its playability or tone. There is a very light finish checking on the back and extremely light finish scratches that don't detract from the beautiful finish. The neck retains its smooth gloss finish from top to bottom, free of palm wear.
