1974 Gibson ES-175

Natural, EX-, these Jazz icons have the working mans jazz guitar since it was first introduced in 1949. With its deep 3.5” body and laminated arched top and back. It produces a warm bass response that softens hearts. The double parallelogram inlays and bound neck give it a classy look. Has a triple bound top and distinctive tailpiece with three raised parallelograms to match the inlays. Think of the trouble to make raised metal decorations on a tailpiece.

Think Joe Pass, Pat Metheny, Steve Howe or Herb Ellis and you get the “class act” vibe. This one was made in the old Kalamazoo factory 50 years ago with a three piece mahogany neck and no volute! Has the original Patent stamp humbuckers, wood bridge, Kluson tuners and factory large frets. You’ll notice the F-Holes have white detail paint, a feature only found on Natural finish Gibsons. This is very clean with a small nick on the neck at the fifth fret. Has deep bass and a crisp high end so you hear every note of the chord. Comes complete with the original hard case.
