Description
What’s special about this guitar: This is a gorgeous and phenomenal playing Gibson Memphis Custom Shop VOS 1959 ES-175DN. This archtop was made to embody the vintage look, feel and sound of the original and it does so beautifully. This guitar features an arched maple top and back, soft “C” shaped neck, split parallelogram fingerboard inlays, a beautiful natural finish with cream binding and PAF humbuckers. This is a one-owner guitar that has been cared for quite well. It is also a fairly recent (2014) model so it is very clean! The vintage correct neck profile is exceptionally comfortable and excellent for playing Jazz chords or lead work.
Condition: This guitar is in great overall shape. There are just a few very light surface scratches and some tiny dings throughout the entire instrument. This is a one-owner guitar and they cared for it quite well! The fingerboard and frets are pristine with no visible play wear and nothing but life left in them. The neck is nice and straight with super comfortable action and the truss rod functions perfectly. All electronics and parts are original and in perfect working condition.
