Gibson ES-275

Gibson ES 275 Custom for sale. This one is in very good to excellent condition, only imperfections to note are a bit of cloudiness on the back, and very minor (purely cosmetic) cracking on neck heel, which I attempted to capture in photos. Set up with low action, currently has 11 Chromes on it, frets are in great shape. I swapped out the neck pickup with a Fralin Pure PAF, I found the stock MHS very bright. The Fralin gives a much warmer sound to my ear. Original will be included in sale. Comes with the COA and original case, which has very minor scuffing,
all latches work. $3200 + shipping, CONUS only. Happy to answer any questions.

Very Nice exotic rug in the 3rd pic from the top. Is it Palestinian embroidery? looks like it could be going by the motifs...

Where is my mind?!?... It's the guitar that is on offer of course!... have you kept the original pickup? Is it the fully hollow one or a semi-hollow design with a maple centre block?

Cheers!

It says in the description the original PU is included. This is the hollow one, the semi has a stop bar and TOM.

Good price from what I've seen. I'm interested in this model but not able to pursue right now. GLWTS!

Yes the rug is really beautiful. Don't know the provenance, my parents bought it I believe in either Morocco or Egypt many years ago but I'm not sure. But it does make a very nice background for guitars!
Yes I have the original pickup and it would ship with the guitar. It is the fully Hollow version, very lightweight and comfortable to play. I've just found I like a little bit bigger body size, but if you're looking for a smaller size hollow body that gives you a good jazz tone and which can ably handle other genres as well you'll love it. The neck is what Gibson calls a "rounded C" - one of the most comfortable I've ever played. Also love that the design allows great upper fret access. And it's a beautiful instrument. Happy to provide more pics and answer any other questions!

Features and serial number suggest 2018. I sold one of these, also from 2018 - fabulous guitar. Good luck with the sale.

Bump for a very nice guitar.
While I recognize that I don't have significant history on this platform, I did recently sell a Comins GCS-16-1 to forum member minorthird, who agreed to vouch for me (thanks Stephen!)
