It has a Guild Harp tailpiece, and, unlike earlier versions with single-coil pickups, a Guild humbucker (used since 1963). Free-floating rosewood bridge and individual tuning keys (Japanese-made). Perhaps these are missing their covers? Block neck inlays were standard throughout production, as was the inlaid Guild motif and Chesterfield inlay. The neck is a mahogany laminate with a thin maple centre-section, whilst the fretboard is rosewood. The scale is 24 3/4". The oval label within the sound-hole gives the guitars model and serial number respectively: CE-100 and EF-416 - making this an early 1967 instrument. The style label (with U.S.A. printed at the bottom) was only used between 1965 and 1969. Images courtesy of justgreatguitars.com

Gibson Custom ES-175 Electric Guitar

The Gibson ES-175 Electric Guitar debuted in 1949. With a comfortable body size and stylish pointed cutaway, it quickly became the most popular guitar of the jazz world. The transparent finishes (sunburst with gold hardware or antique natural with nickel) on the laminated maple body of this reissue electric guitar always remind you that you're touching wood. Binding on the top, back, and fretboard, combined with a trapeze tailpiece and parallelogram fretboard inlays, provides a big touch of class. Traditional Gibson design and 2 '57 Classic humbuckers dish out huge helpings of tone. Gibson includes a hardshell case with the reissue ES-175.

Epiphone ES-175 Electric Guitar

The Epiphone ES-175 Electric Guitar brings back one of the world's most beloved instruments. In 1949 Gibson introduced the ES-175 to enduring and well-deserved acclaim. Since it was primarily an electric guitar, it didn't need the very large dimensions of a classic archtop, but it still benefited from the full hollowbody resonance of an archtop design enhanced by Gibson's fabulous new humbuckers. This Epiphone version has the same sumptuous vintage vibe of the original, including dual Alnico Classic humbuckers, a meticulously applied sunburst finish, split parallelogram fretboard inlays on a bound rosewood fretboard, rosewood bridge base, gold top hat knobs, and deco trapeze tailpiece.
