Pre-owned in very good condition this 2008 Gibson Memphis ES-175 is a beautiful hollowbody guitar that is playing very nicely. A figured maple body meets a mahogany neck and a bound rosewood fretboard, a great look!

This guitar shows some light signs of wear and use including small scratches and finish rubbing. It has just received a new truss rod and a full re-fret so it is playing beautifully.

A fantastic Gibson ES-175 made in the Memphis factory. Comes with original hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.

When the ES-175 debuted with a run of 129 in 1949, it nudged aside the ES-150, which had been the guitar of choice for jazz innovators like Charlie Christian and Eddie Durham. The ES-175 also proved a more manageable and less costly alternative to the L-5s thanks to its smaller body size and laminated top.

Due to its enduring appeal “ a blend of comfortable playability and warm sonic versatility with presence to spare “ the ES-175 has found its way into the hands and hearts of generations of players. Its success leapt across genres to play a role in defining the sound of early rock when Elvis Presley's guitarist Scott Moore acquired his first ES-295 “ essentially a model based on the ES-175 but equipped with two P-90 pickups “ and accompanied the King on his Sun Records classics. Other great ES-175 players include Pat Metheny, Joe Pass, Howard Roberts, Keith Richards, and Yes' Steve Howe.
