Gibson Memphis 1954 ES-175D, Dark Burst Overview
Gibson Memphis 1954 ES-175D Product Overview by GAK
Since its origin in 1949, the ES-175 has seen several variations with different pickup and hardware configurations.
The wood, construction, and headstock pitch all contribute greatly to the tone, aiding this guitar's exceptional sustain and depth, and yielding a resonance that can be felt right through the body.
This 1954 ES-175 is re-fashioned in all its original glory with a Maple top and back with period correct one piece solid maple rims and quartered Adirondack Spruce braces, a Mahogany neck sporting a bound Rosewood 'board with rolled neck binding and a nylon nut, V.O.S. nickel hardware, Kluson single ring tuners and a pair of MHS P-90 pickups wired to Vintage style "no logo" potentiometers.
A fully hollow body and sharp Florentine cutaway, the Gibson ES-175 stands out as an all-time iconic jazz guitar.
