And it has THE neck PUP; no guitar I’ve owned can compare. Neck PUP/7.62K, Bridge PUP/7.97K. Tremendous resonance, perfect weight around 7.5 lbs. Nice full 58 neck, plays unbelievably.

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. To find a Left Handed example, particularly in this pristine condition, takes the definition of “Rare” to a completely higher and unheard of level!
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.
