Serious Collector's alert - 1957 Gibson ES-175 in Seattle WA for $5K

Note:  Please do not call and hassle this seller unsless you are seriously interested in buying the guitar (I've gotten some feedback from CL sellers about some of my readers bugging them with unreasonable requests).

Regular readers are probably saying - is Jim really highlighting a Five thousand dollar guitar - has he lost his mind?  But here are the facts:  this is a 1957 Gibson ES-175.  It has two of the original first year issued PAF pickups. It has the original case.  It looks to be in very good or possible excellent condition.  The seller says they are the original owner (well their grandfather was a t least).  All that bodes well for a good purchase. 

Now considering that you could call every vintage guitar store in America and not find an original 1957 Gibson ES-175 for less than $10K - this looks like a pretty good deal.

Of course it also could be a scam - so "Let the Buyer Beware."   Make sure you khow what you are doing.
