What is it, ES-175? Knobs look 70ish and from what i read the nashville bridge (not the old rosewod) was 1976 era?

The 175 is wider at the lower bout than the 125.
I'm thinking like 13" vs 15" or something like that.

Looked up pictures of the ES-125TDC, it's definitely it. Its the one i had pictures before with the tuner hack job. He lowered his price so i threw a lowball cash offer, waiting for a reply.
Proof that some people should not be allowed to have tools except Fisher Price plastic screwdrivers.

I'd cut him a little slack because the originals were pure crap! :D

Is there any date on it? Is it gibson? I had control of a 59 125 or 175 and it was the most delicate, well built interesting, unique tone electric I ever played. Very sorry the deal didnt work out.

ES175 is the jazz box with humbuggers.

As already stated, it's the TDC version. I had my hands on the fatter version when I was down in SB. I'd attach a file but too large. Go figure.
