1988 Gibson ES 175D Antique Natural "Kirk Fletcher" w/Upgrades
Here we have a really cool ES 175 owned and played by the one of the greatest guitar players in the world and a true blues expert Mr. Kirk Fletcher. If you love the blues, check out Kirk and learn it's origins and evolution to keep it alive.
Kirk has had this killer box modified to be one of the coolest guitars you could ask for and with the Ron Ellis P90s wired out of phase, there are plethora classic blues tones within those knobs. Not to mention da funk!
The mods and upgrades were done by none other than Nick Drushel of Glaser Instruments in Nashville, TN. (They're about as good as it gets really). It is perfectly in tune. There was a previously repaired neck that was given a stamp of approval by Glaser Instruments, so nothing to worry about there. Tuners were replaced at some point as well.
The finish checking and player wear all add up to one word...MOJO!
*All of the original replaced parts come with the guitar and all mods are reversible...but why would that be necessary because this thing is RULING!
