Very early in the year serial, incredibly well taken care of, all original example of a 1961 ES-175 in beautiful Sunburst finish. This guitar, one of only 160 examples shipped in 1961, has very little player wear or damage to mention.. Very much a "go find another better" example. The single PAF pickup sounds amazing, frets have plenty of life left and it plays amazingly well. Comes complete with its original hardshell case. Please email or call for additional info.
