what's blemished?

Blemished

This is typically a customer return. This inventory includes all parts, components, manuals (hard copy or downloadable) and the full factory warranty. It is guaranteed to work perfectly, but it has a cosmetic blemish. It may be less attractive than Warehouse Resealed inventory, but it's priced even lower! This inventory is a great value.

"Steve Howe ES-175--YUM!"

Feature:
Basic humbuckers and volume/tone. Grover tuners.

Quality:
I think everything is fine.

Value:
It is expensive. I think it is worth it.

Desirability:
This is the coolest looking guitar I've ever owned. Very cool. Lot's of mojo.

Sound:
This is where this guitar shines. This guitar is capable of a wide variety of sounds--cool jazz to rockabilly. One problem: feedback. Be careful. I'm getting some Doug's Plugs for the f-holes. Furthermore, mate this guitar with a tube amp.

"Awesome!"

Feature:
Really well put together with quality woods and hardware

Quality:
Only grough was it arrived with only one pickup working due to a dry solder joint. Surely this should have been picked up at QC? however the finish is superb. the instrument needed some decent strings, a little heavier than the stock strings it arrived with, and a set-up. but then alll guitars benefit from those sort of things.

Value:
expensive, but cheaper than many quality guitars of it's type

Desirability:
A truly quality piece of work. I look after it and treat it well.

Sound:
Given that "jazz box" guitars have a distinctive sound, this one gives out well. the slightly different top from most such guitars also allows it to give you something a bit brighter than you'd expect

Ease of Use:
very easy to play, somethings high up the neck require re-working due to the finger board being a 22 fretter

Support:
No need to comment, the above mentioned wiring problem was quickly dealt with by my excellent local luthier.

Overall:
I wouldn't willingly part with this guitar. not to say that I might get others, I already have a 335 and this complements it well

About This Product!
Description
News
The Steve Howe Signature ES-175 celebrates the achievements of the man who elevated rock guitar into an art form. As a member of the English band Yes, Steve's tasteful, eclectic guitar parts helped define a new style of music. On later solo albums, he emerged as an accomplished jazz player. His guitar collection has been the subject of a book, and his instruments have been exhibited in museums. Through it all, his favorite has always been his 1964 Gibson ES-175, and his signature guitar is modeled after his personal guitar.
