Description
What makes this guitar special: A very cool & rather rare Japanese made hollow body from the '70s. This natural finish Eagle is based on the Gibson ES-175 model & comes equipped with an even rarer Ibanez branded Bigsby from the '60s! Nice, resonant acoustic tone coupled with warm, rich humbuckers. Pro set up by Cream City Music so she's ready to play straight out of the case!
Cosmetic Condition: Used, but not abused with a cool vintage vibe - various minor nicks, chips, dents & dings; surface scratches, weather checking & some finish wear, particularly on the back from buckle rash. The binding has shrunk just a bit in the waist on both the bass & treble sides, but not too bad. Overall the guitar is in great shape with a beautiful patina.
Neck: Slender profile maple neck with black side-dots. Rosewood fingerboard with 3-ply binding & mother of pearl double parallelogram inlays. Frets are in great shape with some light wear & plenty of life in them. Chrome sealed tuners are in perfect working condition. 1 11/16" nut width; 24 3/4" scale length. Neck is straight & truss rod works fine.
Body: Florentine cutaway, hollow maple body with dual F-holes. 8-ply top binding & single ply back binding. Unoriginal Bigsby tremolo tailpiece with Ibanez logo & nickel hardware. The trem arm is chrome & not original to the rest of the unit. Floating wooden bridge with height-adjustable wheels. 4-ply black pickguard. Guitar weighs 6 lbs 15.4 oz.
Pickups: Dual humbuckers with black bezels & chrome covers. Bridge - 8.08K ohms; Neck - 8.06K ohms. Dual volume & tone controls with black speed knobs; 3-way toggle switch. All electronics are in good working condition.
Case: Original hardshell case included.
