ES-175 Value
I am considering the sale of a Gibson ES-175, serial #600196. The headstock has "Made in U.S.A." stamped in it and the body cavity has a white/black/purple sticker showing the guitar was built in Kalamazoo.
I know that Gibson s/n's can be tricky, but I believe this is a mid 70's guitar. Can anyone pinpoint this guitar's mfg date? Anyone have any insight into this instrument's value? Is there a better site to ask these questions? Many thanks, Bob

FWIW, I'm told that my evidence narrows the mfg date to 1970-75 and that the pots numbering can refine that further. Estimated value (from eBay completed sales) is $2,000-2,500...which seems about right to me.
