(Guitar). Debuting in 1949 and in continuous production ever since,
the ES-175 is one of the most versatile and famous guitars in music
history. The first Gibson electric to feature a Florentine cutaway,
the ES-175 was also one of the first Electric Spanish guitars to be
fitted with P.A.F. humbuckers and is prized for its playability,
craftsmanship, and full rich tone. The list of players who have
utilized the ES-175's distinctive sound reads like a who's who of
historic and contemporary jazz, rock, blues and fusion, players
such as: Joe Pass, Kenny Burrell, Joe Diorio, Toots Thielmans, Wes
Montgomery, Pat Martino, Herb Ellis, Howard Roberts, Jimmy Raney,
blues great B.B. King, progressive rock musician Steve Howe and
fusion pioneer Pat Metheny. Scotty Moore played an ES-295,
essentially a dual P90 equipped, all gold ES-175 on the Sun
Sessions with Elvis Presley. Written by noted author/guitarist
Adrian Ingram, contents include: the complete history of the 175,
The Players, a beautiful ES-175 Color Gallery, Chronology, Shipping
Totals, and more. This book is a must for every guitar player and
enthusiast or collector.
