Product Information
The Gibson Memphis ES-175 has been in production since 1949. They are made in the USA, which is an added bonus for those who like buying American-made products. If a 2015 or 2016 version is preferred, they are available as well. Because you have many options when it comes to the year the instrument was made, you can find the ideal one for your taste and playing style.What stays the same, however, is the classic fully hollow single-cutaway design that makes it immediately recognizable as a jazz guitar. The fingerboard inlays are made of rosewood with split-parallelogram inlays. Sticking to the late 1950s building process, hot hide glue is used to attach the neck joint and braces. The modern version features the same one-piece mahogany neck and the same 20-fret rosewood fingerboard. This is good news for those in search of the original's characteristics. The modern version's fingerboard is rolled as well, allowing for a softer feel while playing.Versions from 1957 to 2016 are equipped with two MHS humbuckers pickups to create excellent sonic depth, clarity, and character. A Gibson Memphis ES-175 made prior to 1957 will not have the two MHS humbuckers pickups, though. The first two-pickup ES-175 was introduced in 1953, another important difference to keep in mind.The Gibson ES-175 uses vintage-style pots and lightweight centerblocks to maintain a classic appearance. It also has a hollow body design with a figured maple top. The hollow body is a key feature of the ES-175 because it adds woody overtones to the sound. For extra note definition and attack, maple tonewood is used as a material in the ES-175. Historic versions of the Gibson ES-175 come in two colors: vintage sunburst and natural. Modern versions are available in wine red, vintage sunburst, and antique natural. This Gibson guitar is shipped from the factory in a levant case, which is a hard shell case with a plush inner.Although the Gibson Memphis was ideal for jazz music, it evolved beyond jazz. It even played an important role in the start of rock-and-roll. Other genres that are suitable to be played with the ES-175 are pop, blues, and rock. Many famous musicians, such as Steve Howe, Keith Richards, and Pat Metheny, played the Memphis ES-175. If you're a fan of a guitar player who owned an ES-175, then having your very own ES-175 is an exciting achievement. You can cover your favorite songs with the same brand and model that they were fond of using with this easy-to-use guitar.The original Memphis ES-175 was the first Gibson electric guitar to have a Florentine cutaway beneath the neck. This provided easy access to all 20 frets, which was one of the reasons it was so popular in the 50s. The ES-175's blend of playability, warm tones, and sonic versatility means that this model performs well across genres. Today, the ES-175 remains a dependable instrument with the trusted features of the historic versions in addition to various modern upgrades.Product Identifiers
