Gibson / ES175D Natural / 1956 / Guitar

Only the most aesthetically pleasing wood was used on naturally finished Gibsons and that is the case  for this one. The maple body shows through the original finish that shows characteristic weather checking. The natural finish contrasts in an appealing manner with the black plastics used on the pickguard and P-90 pickup covers that have reformed and worn a bit throughout the years. The black headstock overlay has a similiar level of authenticity with its weather checking and crown inlay. The barely worn fretboard has the dual parallelogram inlay and the pointed end trapeze tailpiece features a triple parallelogram making the look complete. Some of the inlays have been reglued onto the fretboard, the frets have been worked on but are original, so is the rest of the guitar; pots, tuners, knobs, bridge, screws. Also, it includes the original green lining case! This means this guitar has got it all, the sound, the playability, mojo, authenticity and collectibility value.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
