Condition: Used, Very Good
From Joe Pass to John Frusciante, the ES-175 has an incredible heritage that's evident from the second you plug it in. This splendid example from 1968 has a bit of wear, but is altogether well kept and a treasure sure to put a smile on your face. The tone is round, warm, and versatile with plenty to work with thanks to Gibson's classic 2 Volume, 2 Tone control scheme. The neck feels incredibly comfortable and makes playing a breeze. We expect no less from one of the most iconic jazz boxes of all time, and this guitar delivers!
SP Luthier Notes: Refret, Cosmetic Work
Today's Gibson electric guitars represent the history as well as the future of the electric guitar. The models whose designs have become classics-the ES-175, ES-335, Flying V, Explorer, Firebird, SGs and Les Pauls-are a testament to Gibson's wide appeal, spanning more than four decades of music styles. Gibson's close relationship with musicians is manifest in endorsement models from King, Atkins and jazz greats Howard Roberts and Herb Ellis, plus new Les Pauls made to the personal specifications of rock stars Jimmy Page and Joe Perry. In 1994, Gibson's Centennial year, the new Nighthawk model won an industry award for design, setting the stage for a second hundred years of Gibson quality and innovation.
