Lovely 50`s chunky neck, plays and sounds beautiful…..an absolute jazzer’s dream.
This guitar has been owned by someone that truly cherished it, and is in terrific condition : the
addition of an early original PAF [Patent Applied For] bridge pickup keeps it in line with tradition -
however, the incorrectly placed knobs and selector switch are possibly a clue that not too many twin
humbucker ES175`s were around yet when this was done.
This is an early Florentine model with its original natural finish.
One piece mahogany neck with Rosewood fretboard,
2 Original PAF’s [2`nd pickup added]
Double parallelogram inlays,
Crown inlay on the headstock,
Florentine cutaway,
$14000
