1967 Gibson ES-175 – Sparkling Burgundy

Well Strung Guitars

Description

This is a very rare sight, a 1967 Gibson ES-175 in its original Sparkling Burgundy finish. We usually come across 175s in Sunburst and Natural, so seeing it in this color is so cool. This finish has faded over time, resulting in areas of the body and neck that appear more bronze or gold. We see this a lot with Sparkling Burgundy, and it makes each guitar in this finish look so unique, depending on how it has aged. This guitar sports split parallelogram inlays on a Rosewood fretboard, and these original frets have very little play wear, so there’s a ton of life left in them before the guitar will need a refret. Finally, this guitar is equipped with patent no. pickups, rather than T tops.
