Original pre-owned 1991 Gibson ES-165 Herb Ellis archtop electric.
Similar to the Gibson ES-175 from the '50s....these were made for Herb Ellis for a few years in the early 1990s. This one is a fine example with a particularly nicely flamed Sunburst top.
Original Gibson humbucker is warm and thick sounding. Neck is straight and guitar plays with a real nice action and no buzz or issues.
A wonderful working professionals guitar, great for gigging and recording.
It is all original but missing the pickguard and the label, the serial number is clearly printed on the headstock, dating the guitar to 1991.
Generally excellent condition with minor honest wear to it. Guitar plays remarkably well.
Comes with a nice hard case, too.
