Gibson ES-175 Memphis Bigsby P-94s

[SOLR]

Well here's another 175 (SS frets)

it comes with the original P94s and Bgsby.. + a full conversion kit to 57s with pot harness and all

It's from 2013 looks in great shape , seller asking about $4200cdn .

action is now set at 2/64" on lo E. He reverted to the P94 for sale , but used it with the 57s before hence the pics of the different versions.

Any opinions?

Technically it's a 175 right:

with the 94s

I am familiar with these. Yes, it is a legit ES175. It just comes with a factory installed bigsby. No additional holes are drilled, just your garden variety 175.

Never seen an ES175 with that tailpiece. Interesting.

If you're talking about this one, it's a Stewmac replacement for the seller's modded 175 .

I would take into account that stainless steel frets can significantly change the sound of an archtop, especially acoustically… and that during the fret replacement the fingerboard seems to have been heavily planed. Notice how the position markers are right at the edge! Ideally, you should test it.

Thx Caue,

I had passed on this one but your observation is quite accurate. I had also wondered why go to the trouble of replacing everything (pups controls switch pots etc) only to revert and sell a few weeks later ..Got me thinking.
