Chabenda Thanks Vic - I can almost smell the rat pee in that Vox! A beaut of a Gibson! The last pic is a bit disturbing though!! ?
vic Gibson ES-175 from around 1957 well worn fingerboard....looks much worse than what it really is... ?
Chabenda Thanks Vic! She has certainly earned someone a living during the last fifty odd years. The body looks really neat and tidy with little damage. I love the yellowed binding. It's strange that the headstock has paint damage along the edges - possibly numerous contacts with a drummer's cymbals?? You have an absolute beauty there. It is frustrating owning a mint condition vintage guitar as every time that you take it out of its case you are nervous about damaging it in any way. This one would just make me feel so comfortable and get me wanting to play it!
