The Gibson ES-175 is an iconic hollow body Jazz guitar played by many legendary guitarists including Joe Pass, Jim Hall, Pat Metheny and Steve Howe. Known for many years as the ‘workhorse of modern Jazz guitar,’ the Gibson ES-175 has an iconic sound that has been imitated by many guitar makers, but never precisely duplicated. In its long production history, the ES-175 has become synonymous with the greats of Jazz guitar. Its tone is warm and rich but also clean and articulate, chiming with a quality that is both spacious and airy but also distinct and bell-like. The ES-175 is unique among hollow bodies for its sonic versatility and its ability to stand up to more modern levels of crunch and volume better than other hollow bodies from the same era.
