1949 ES175 Gibson, good shape except for the following flaws: I have the original tailpiece but is has a replacement on the guitar because the orignial corroded apart at the hinge (see attached pictures), also the pickguard was glued with super glue which turned the spot into gooh. It has a hole as a result. The nut split off at the little E string and a new groove is right at the edge so it needs a new nut. The Gibson insignia on head looks partly mother of pearl and it looks as if the gold on part has peeled off or something. All of this is shown in the pictures. The neck is in great shape. There is some wear on the first four frets (mainly the first 3) but nothing serious. It plays good and sounds good. The neck is straight. All of the binding is in good shape. No cracks in the body or neck. Finish has some fineline cracking of the lacquer. This guitar belongs to my brother-in-law and he is the second owner and it was actually purchased at an estate sale in the early '60s. He asked if I could sell it for him. Hard shell case included.
 See attached pictures and if you have questions or need more pictures let me know and I will email them to you.

...I emailed the guy...he said he had 4 of them !
HI Brian LeBlanc ,
Someone just bought this from me, but I can tell you where I got it from.
I just picked up 4 of these from www.allproductforsell.com and I resold them on here for some extra money.
The trick is to watch for bidding to slow down and then put in a bid. That's what I do and I win all the time.
Regards
James Dean
