(Mine is a 1976). It is as beautiful as the one in Germany, that Harry Tristan and I hunted for. That one went for 1110 euros, which was about $1410,- and there was no OHSC involved then, was there? But: the PRESENTATION sucks! They say it's a Barney Kessel. And I read that many of us find the Barney Kessel model ugly. This is a NATURAL FLAME MAPLE ES-175 type. No Barney, no Herb, no Joe, no George, no more, no less. It is WANTED as it IS. IMHO one of the most beautiful ES-175 replicas available. I immediately fell in love when I saw mine (with the Guild tulip headstock) in 2003.

That's a real bargain. The one Harry, Tristan and I were after in Germany was NOT BETTER, I don't even remember if it had an OSHC. But I know it went for €1110.- Ginger   Petruz Username: Petruz Registered: 5-2004 Posted on Monday, April 09, 2007 - 6:11 am:    another one, in germany.

I prefer the natural flame maple, but that's personal. They are good jazz boxes.
