This is the famous Gibson single cutaway, all laminated wood archtop that features maple top, back, sides; the back of the neck is mahogany and one-piece; the tuners are unsigned “Kluson Deluxe” style with large round grommets around its capstans, single ring and pearloid tulip-shaped buttons. We are making the presumption that the tuners are original, but they could be replacements that occupy the same screw holes as the original ones. The point in an ES-175 is sharp and Florentiny; its twin pickups are humbuckers; the pickguard is bordered in a laminate of white-black-white; it has four black high-hat knobs for volume and tone in the lower treble bout, a three-way toggle for pickup selection in the upper bass quadrant, surrounded by a black rubber frame It sports twin unbound lower-case f-holes, a tune-o-matic chrome plated bridge top on a rosewood bridge base, and a chrome-plated trapeze tailpiece with three raised parallelograms in relief .
