This extremely well-kept ES-175D is one of the last orange Kalamazoo-label 175s of the ‘60s, featuring a pair of Gibson’s last pre-T Top Patent Sticker humbuckers.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nAcoustically, the fully hollow maple body delivers a big, open sound with both the immediate attack and clarity of maple, and an airy, smooth quality befitting the hollowbody construction. The pre-T Top patent sticker humbuckers are warm and detailed: the bridge is wound particularly hot (9.5k ohms) and has a spongy growl and focused midrange cut, while the neck pickup is expansive and harmonically rich, wound much more conservatively at 7.45k ohms. Each sound is distinct on the three-way pickup selector, and the pickups balance well in terms of perceived output. This ES-175D weighs 6lbs 6oz, professionally setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 12-52 roundwound strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Mahogany (three-piece)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Medium C, measuring .830” 1st fret, .980” 9th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Rosewood, pearloid split parallelogram inlays\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Medium jumbo, refret, no wear\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 24 3\/4”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1 11\/16”, nylon\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Kluson Deluxe double-line, double-ring\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: Six-digit stamp dates to 1969\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\n-Wood: Maple\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: Pat. # T Top humbucker x2, Neck 7.45k ohms, Bridge 9.50k\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, Three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Raised diamond trapeze tailpiece, compensated rosewood bridge\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: Five-ply pickguard, witch hat knobs\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: Orange Kalamazoo label (serial matches headstock)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThere are two small holes beneath the bridge (presumably to pin the bridge or for an ABR-1), and the gloss Ice Tea Sunburst nitro lacquer finish is 100% original with no touch-up or overspray, exhibiting tight lacquer checking on all sides.
