Gibson 1998 ES-175 - Vintage Sunburst

The Gibson ES-175 isn’t just a guitar; it’s the definitive voice of jazz and hollowbody soul. Since its debut in 1949, it has carved a path through music history, becoming the go-to for legends like Joe Pass and Steve Howe. This 1998 model captures that golden-era magic with a fully hollow laminate maple body that delivers a warm, resonant "thump" that modern solid bodies just can’t replicate. Whether you're comping chords in a dim-lit club or pushing the limits of bluesy grit, this ES-175 offers a woody, sophisticated character that feels alive in your hands.

Under the hood, this beauty is powered by Gibson’s iconic humbuckers, providing a rich, creamy output that tames high-end harshness while keeping the lows tight and punchy. The mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard offer a buttery playing experience, perfect for those intricate bebop lines or soaring sustains. It’s a piece of Gibson legacy that looks as good as it sounds, finished in a timeless Sunburst that highlights the gentle curves of its florentine cutaway.
