The Gibson ES-175 is one of the most versatile guitars ever invented - having made a serious name for itself amongst jazz purists and heavy rock & rollers alike. This example of the 175 (D) sports the two pickups, and is in great shape with an easy to play neck. This era is uniquely hard to date, having serial numbers that represent broad-stroke years that often get mixed together with seemingly random numbers. The 500,000 serial numbers are generally regarded as earlier '75, all the while not having had much change in throughout the decade overall.

This guitar comes to us in great condition, all original less the tuners. The pickups are original to this era, having the original Patent No 2 737 842 sticker underneath - leaving this likely to be a T Top beneath its chrome covering, which we did not remove. 

Cosmetically this guitar is in great shape with only light surface wear to it's finish. The binding is in great shape throughout the entire instrument. The pearloid split inlays are particularly nice and full of depth on this example. The neck is straight with a functioning truss rod, and the action is super low measuring only 5-4/64" in height at the 12th fret with plenty of room for adjustment at the bridge. The frets from this era are often noted for their low profile, sometimes called "fretless wonders" and these are in great shape, allowing for excellent smooth playability. 

It has a 1 23/32" nut width, and the neck measures .81" thick at the first position and .95" at the 10th before the heel. Weighs 7.25 lbs. Includes the original magenta lined hardshell case, which is in good condition.
