surfguy13 Posted June 3, 2012 Share Posted June 3, 2012 Hi everybody Been pondering whether to sell this old 175 which I've had for a loooong time. Doesn't get played as much as it should do so.......?! It's all original bar an old re-fret (including new nut) and the case. The case is a 1953 Lifton case for a 175 so a perfect fit and it's in amazing condition - all the latches work well and it really solid. The pickups are early pat no and sound wonderful. Thankfully it has a factory tunomatic bridge which is SO much better than the wood bridges. There really isn't much more to say about it! There are loads of photos on my photobucket page and the photos below will give you an idea: [url="http://s763.photobucket.com/albums/xx272/surfguy13/1964%20Gibson%20ES175/"][color="#006ba6"]http://s763.photobucket.com/albums/x...ibson%20ES175/[/color][/url] Cash is a scarce commodity so although I do need a proportion in cash I'm also happy to consider a part ex. Open mind re what I would take although an old guitar/amp would be my preference. Please PM me if you would like any more info.

Anyway, the rules do require you state a price. [/quote] Hi everybody Sorry for not having put a price in there, I didn't realise it was required. I've been trying to work out how to edit the post to include a price but just can't frind a way to do it. So this is the next best thing. As I said, this was/is really just a feeler and I didn't include a price initially because I honestly wasn't sure what it's worth. From the feedback I've had it's worth as little as £1800 and as much as £4000 so......? I guess I'll go with £3500 and be done with it. Massive amount of money I know but.......
