I also own one, and I never use the bridge pickup. Does anyone know if the 57 bridge pickup is exactly the same or any different from the one in the neck?? Might wanna throw the bridge one into the neck of another axe!

Here's my 2014 ES-175 Premium. I'm a dedicated lurker, and have never posted. But I couldn't resist doing my own version of the photo in post #4.

There are some pictures in the ad: Epiphone 175 - KupujemProdajem
What is the finish on non premium reissue? Is it a glossy nitro or poly?
Thank you and sorry for jumping on without a guitar (yet).

But no, they did not come with gibson 57's. But that is the perfect upgrade to make a nice guitar

I arranged to buy an ES-175 premium from a passing buy bus . I will have at most 10 minutes to check the guitar. While I am certain that I can recognize hw parts and get a good impression of wood in that time, I am not sure how to figure out if the pickups are original. What are the colors of pickup wires on premiums? Any other suggestions? I trust the owner but recently I went to see the es-175 premium locally and we figured out that the pickups were replaced with noname pups, the owner was surprised too. It was easy to me to recognize that after plugging in the guitar, but now I will not be able to do that.
Here is the guitar: EPIPHONE ES-175 PREMIUM ELECTRIC GUITAR + Koffer, € 850,- (1230 Wien) - willhaben

I think they should look like this:

I used this to verify pickups and inspect wiring:

I've tried with mine 175 premium and it's really impossibe to see the tags (they have to be there to be the real thing) using only the phone. But with 20/30€ you could buy a cheap endoscope... ;-)

You can take a picture of the bridge pickup through F-holes. I did it when I arrived home, when it was already obvious that pickups are 57s. Just set the camera to wide.Last edited by velja; 04-02-2022 at 04:30 AM.

One caveat is the nut maybe too low and sometimes I'm hearing string buzz from the 5th and 6th strings. Might need to visit a repair shop this winter.
One thing I'm really interested in recently is Archtop Tribute AT105, AT105M, AT105D, AT205MD, etc. from Japan Walkin guitar. Thanks to the great USD/JPY rate nowadays, I'm looking for replacing my Epi ES-175 with possibly one of this AT105's. And main question is: would AT105's be really better and worth than Epi? I've talked to the owner of Walkin in emails; the price range is about $1,600 - $1,750 USD including shipping and hard case. I can't find anything comparing Epi and AT guitars. And actually there are not that many video clips about Archtop Tribute models. Anyone have experienced both guitars or anything from AT? Thx.

I am selling an almost brand new Limited Edition, Custom Shop, Reissue, 2010.
Vintage Sunburst, with upgraded neck pu (original included), hard case etc.
To collect from London (unless a special collection arrangement can be made).
Please see eBay ad, just put up (3 Dec 2023).
… really beautiful one, but not getting played, and I seem to have gone mad with acquiring more and more guitars (so I am told by the family members!)
