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.

Gibson Steve Howe ES175 Electric Guitar (with Case) Reviews
10 out of 10
zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
"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
