Is this a good price for it?

Thanks.

Although he's asking less than what a lot of dealers are asking, I think the price is a bit high. He's in the ballpark, though, and says he's open to reasonable offers, so that's good.

 

If you look at completed ebay auctions for comparable guitars of the same general vintage, you can probably get one for a bit less: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_sop=10&_sacat=0&_from=R40&LH_Complete=1&_nkw=gibson+es+175+-promo+-poster+-333+-135+-446+-dot+-225+-347+-336+-%22fine+art%22+-jewelry+-%22hard+rock%22+-%22handle+for%22+-lexus+-shirt+-%22style+pickguard%22+-flyer+-%22switch+for%22&_ipg=200&rt=nc

 

No case is mentioned in his ad, so that has to be considered also.
