1965 Gibson ES-175 in natural finish. Absolute killer guitar to play. Sounds superb. Original pat sticker pickups from 1965. One tuner has been replaced with a retro fit kluson. Later model Gibson hard case. Lots of natural ageing. Perfect weight and balance. Rings out for days.
With a fully hollow body and sharp Florentine cutaway, the Gibson ES-175 stands out as an all-time iconic jazz guitar. The ES-175 has seen some variation over the years, with different pickup and hardware configurations coming in and out of the Gibson lineup. Those with the ES-175D model number indicate the use of two pickups, and an N denotes a natural instead of sunburst finish. Although the ES-175 is noted as a jazz guitar, it has also been embraced by rock players like Yes' Steve Howe who has a signature model.
