Gibson / ES-175D Steve Howe / 2003 / Sunburst / Guitar
This is a near MINT example of classic and rare Limited Edition Gibson ES-175D Steve Howe Signature model made in 2003 complete with brown Gibson ES-175 case this has hardly a mark on it anywhere and has seen little use. The finish is still bright, vibrant an unfaded.
Please have a good look at the photos you will see for yourself the amazing condition this guitar is in. There are just a few minor marks here and there that could probably be polished out. I cannot see any dings and there is very little signs of wear. There is some tarnishing on the nickel plated parts, just like the original probably has..!
Included is a nice, Gibson ES-175D brown/pink hardshell case that is a perfect fit and protects it very well. All I have for sale is the guitar as pictured plus the case, there is noting else, no paperwork or candy etc.
Very rare model too - this was a limited edition run that has now sold out so you do not come across them that often, especially in this amazing condition.
If you do want to play it I can assure you it will not disappoint. It has a nice low action with plenty of life left on the original frets. All pickups are nicely balanced with exceptional clarity and bite. Good for jazz as well as rock etc. All hardware is all original and it has the special Steve Howe niceties such as the inlay on the bridge, the Kluson tuner tip as a switch etc. Serial number: 00853737
