ES-175DN - solid mahogany ?


964racer

Recommended Posts

I have a 1990 ES-175DN. This guitar has a natural finish (A little yellowish) with Mahogany back and sides (almost same color wood and on neck).

 

I took the guitar recently to a technician for a setup and he thought the back and sides may be solid rather than laminated.

 

Any ES-175 experts out there that can confirm ?

Hi and welcome.

 

Any chance of a few pictures?

 

As you note 175s have laminated tops and backs. I think though that the sides are solid.

 

The carved version of the 175 is the L4.

How did the tech form the view that the back might be solid?
