This instrument Must be considered entirely on its own. It is not a thin line es-175, nor does it sound remotely like one. if you take it as a fresh Approach to a guitar, and listen with an open mind, It has a unique voice. If you're expecting a big body jazz guitar, then get a big-bodied jazz guitar. if you're expecting a very Jazzy looking ES-335 , look elsewhere. This is a very beautiful and lightweight instrument with a voice all its own.
