Gibson 1954 ES-175D Jim Dickinson Burst Limited Edition

Near mint condition!

Since its origin in 1949, the ES-175 has seen several variations with different pickup and hardware configurations. The wood, construction, and headstock pitch all contribute greatly to the tone, aiding this guitar’s exceptional sustain and depth, and yielding a resonance that can be felt right through the body.

The 1954 ES-175 is refashioned in all its original glory a Maple top and back with period correct one piece solid maple rims and Quartered Adirondack Spruce braces, a Mahogany neck sporting a tan bound Rosewood board with Rolled neck binding and a nylon nut, V.O.S. Nickel hardware, Kluson Single Ring tuners, and MHS P90 pickups wired to Vintage style "no logo" potentiometers. A fully hollow body and sharp Florentine cutaway, the Gibson ES-175 stands out as an all-time iconic jazz guitar of which only 50 will be offered globally.

This 1954 Gibson ES-175D is an absolutely superb archtop - one that plays and sounds phenomenally, and is a great collector's item. With a pair of P-90s, rather than the more common single pickup, it can achieve a wide array of tones - perfect for rock, blues, and jazz, it's a really versatile player.
