1963 Gibson ES-175 DN 00473

http://www.frettedamericana.com/detai... This super rare guitar (one of just 74 Natural ES-175s shipped in 1963) weighs just 6.60 lbs. Laminated maple body with a Florentine cutaway. Honduras mahogany neck with a nice wide nut and a medium profile. Brazilian rosewood fretboard with 20 frets and pearl split-parallelogram position markers. Two PAF humbucking pickups with outputs of 7.22k and 7.50k. Rosewood bridge with pre-set compensating saddle and zig-zag tailpiece. An exceptionally fine example. Housed in its original Gibson black hardshell case with orange plush lining (9.25). At one time a previous owner had fitted "later" Kluson Deluxe tuners which have now been replaced with the original individual single-line Kluson Deluxe tuners with double-ring Keystone plastic buttons, complete with the original bushings.
