Post Your ES-175 Pics

Nice 175 Californiaman. Is that black? I don't think I have seen a black one before. What year is it?

 

I know many of you have seen mine before, but given Californiaman's great post, I can't resist in posting mine again.

 

Also what can you tell us about that wonderful looking amp?

Hey Mr. Robot,

It's black and gold. I'm reasonably sure it's 1988. She has a mahogany back and sides with a maple cap.

The amplifier is a Gibson GA-5 Goldtone Les Paul Jr. Amplifier. It's 5 watts with point to point wiring and made right here in the good old USA. Unfortunately it has been discontinued. When it first came out retailers were getting $800 for them. I bought mine new Dec. 23 for $350.00.

I like the flame on the top of your 175. It's Flashy-fresh.

Mine is hard to keep clean because it is black.
