ES-175

SOLD!!! Gibson ES-175 Archtop Electric Guitar Sunburst, 1962

On May 10, 2018 /

The Gibson ES-175 was immediately popular with jazz players. The body is constructed as a single florentine (sharp) cutaway, using maple laminates for feedback rejection. This was becoming increasingly important as audience sizes increased, requiring higher stage volumes that are seriously problematic for hollow body instruments. These work so well that eventually, an ES-175 built not long after this one wound up on some of the world’s largest rock stages in the hands of ‘Yes’ guitarist Steve Howe.

Thank you for the excellent service!

I received the guitar today. It’s even better than I hoped it would be. The Tennessee Waltz brought my wife in smiling from the other room. Thank you for the excellent service.

Overall, great service and a great shop.

I picked up a Strat on Saturday, and was helped by Nevin. He was extremely helpful, and knowledgeable about the differences in the models. Once I made my selection, he set it up for me and showed me how to make minor adjustments myself.

Overall, great service and a great shop.
