Description
This used 1988 Gibson ES-175 TD is a classic hollow-body that perfectly embodies the warm, enveloping character of Gibson archtops. The nitrocellulose finish enhances the instrument’s elegant lines, while the laminated maple body with mahogany top contributes to a rich, deep, and balanced response, ideal for jazz, blues, and beyond.
The mahogany neck with a Rounded “C” profile, also finished in nitrocellulose, offers a comfortable and natural grip, making the guitar extremely enjoyable to play even for extended sessions. The rosewood fingerboard with a 12″ radius and 20 medium jumbo frets ensures smooth and precise playability while maintaining a traditional feel.
The electronics consist of two Gibson humbucking pickups, one of which is Patent Number, controlled by a 3-position selector switch in HH configuration, capable of delivering warm, defined, and dynamic tones with great touch sensitivity. The adjustable Tune-O-Matic bridge with a rosewood base completes the instrument while maintaining its vintage character, while the Gibson Deluxe tuning machines ensure stability and reliable tuning.
A guitar with timeless appeal, perfect for those seeking the authentic sound of Gibson’s large hollow-body models.
