opacheco Posted April 6 Share Posted April 6 Hi, My name is Oscar Pacheco and I have got a ES-175 few days ago, this have a wooden bridge and only one gold top pickup similar to the classic 57’ series. The serial number is a 5 digit serial number: 82294 could you help me in order to know its manufacture year please and any other interesting data for??…where this guitar was made? Here a link for some pics in order to make identification work easier for you! https://we.tl/t-YRePZN4PzD Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimR56 Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 That 5 digit serial number should indicate 1962 (and possibly 1963 or 1964). If that is the legitimate serial number, then the guitar was made in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Gibson produced fewer single-pickup models during those years as compared to the double-pickup version, but either way, a 1962 ES-175 is quite a desirable and valuable guitar. Unfortunately, when I clicked on the link to your photos, the site I reached made me uncomfortable. I clicked to agree to some sort of cookies or user policy, and was taken to some kind of download option. It seemed very sketchy and less than secure. So, I did not see your photos, although I would have liked to. If there's any other way for you to share the photos, it would help to clarify what you have (of course).

merciful-evans Posted April 8 Share Posted April 8 That link worries me too. Oscar, use a 3rd party photo hosting site such as imgur. Then you can link to photos you upload there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
