1958 Gibson ES-175D, 100% Original with OHSC, Near Mint!

This is an unmolested, unharvested time capsule Lefty 1958 ES-175D! Late 50s/Early 60s original ES-175s with PAFs are getting impossible to find, as the poachers have virtually decimated these guitars for their prized electronics, especially the PAFs.

This guitar is in Near Mint Condition, with only the requisite repair(done very well) on the bottom of the zig zag tailpiece. This was a very common occurrence on these tailpieces, and so they are typically repaired or replaced with the more stable early 50s trapeze tailpiece, such as on my righty 1959 ES-175D.
