Gibson 1970 ES-175, Walnut
While many Gibson fans know of how many of their models were available in 'Walnut' finish in the '70s, not everyone may know that the ES-175 was actually never advertised in Walnut. The only options at the time were Sunburst and Natural, making this Walnut example exceptionally rare, undoubtably a custom order. This one sounds amazing with it's original patent sticker T-Tops, bright and articulate that do well for a sharper more focused jazz tone. It is in great shape with some light playwear throughout, all set to go!
