NGD-Gibson es-175 copy

[neilshane]

I finally got my new guitar! It's referenced in this thread, where you can see photos: http://www.jazzguitar.be/forum/guita...-175-copy.html

I did some research online and discovered its a 1974 Ibanez 2355 with Maxon type 2 pickups. The tuners have been replaced with Klusons and the metal part of the bridge is a new Grover piece. But the originals are in the case, which I think is original too.

I put some flat wound 11s on it and it sounds great through my Fender Super Champ XD. I got it for $650, which I think is a solid deal.

Gotta love NGD!

I had one when they were new, although I don't remember what PUPs came on it. Sounded great through my Ampeg Reverberocket. I wound up trading it for an Ovation nylon with a pickup when my gig changed and I needed the nylon instead of the archtop. Two of many guitars I wish I could have afforded to keep instead of trading as my gigs changed.
