    Hey Folks,

    here is a Japanese made (Matsumoku made from what i've read) ES-175 copy. The model #, as stated in the heading, is the 2312. Here are some of the notes:

    * 24 3/4" scale
    * Laminated flame maple front, back and sides
    * 1970'sAll original (original Black Tone/Volume knobs are in case)
    * Comes with very BASIC case. Will ship in double box and packed well


    The frets are pretty low, so eventually will need a refret, but plays fine now.

    At some point there was a repair or something with neck at heel joint as seen from pics. I've had the guitar for 2 years and setup twice. Neck hasn't changed or shifted, but there is a hump that I was told will have to be addressed at refret.

    Priced below what these and other older Japanese made archtops are going for due to eventual fret work to be done and neck planing to be done.

    Price: $750 + split actual shipping

    DROPPED TO: $550 + ACTUAL SHIPPING
