Wow, thanks! :)
Yeah, it's expensive. I'm sure I could buy it cheaper in the states, but this one's here, it's well made, it sounds great. Will probably take it.
Thanks, guys, you're great :)
Yes, the guitar looks and sounds great. I don't have a reason to doubt its origin, was mostly trying to figure out the exact parameters to be able to tell whether the price is adequate (they sell it for $4500).
Hi all, I discovered this piece in a local shop and wondering what it is. The serial number does not seem to follow the scheme for ES reissues. The shop tag claims it's a 1959 ES-175 Custom Shop Reissue. It only has one pickup. No number stamped on the head. It comes with a certificate:
Serial number: A05457
Other "id" on the certificate: ES75VBNHI
