The Epiphone ES-175 Reissue brings a classic back to life. With an archtop maple body and two humbuckers, the ES-175 Reissue feels and sounds great.

Celebrate the return of a Jazz icon with the Epiphone ES-175 which offers up robust tone with delightful balance and playability. Combining the elegance of a pre-war archtop with the warmth of a Gibson humbucking electric, the ES-175 has long been a favorite for players looking for a full yet defined tone. With the release of the Epiphone reissue of the ES-175, all the style and sound of the jazz icon is delivered in an stylish and extremely affordable package. Highly attractive with vintage sunburst finish and finely appointed hardware, the Epiphone ES-175 Reissue is a great deal on a classic instrument.

Big and Bold Sound

With fat humbucker pickups on a deep body for a big and bold sound, the ES-175 is ideal for Jazz. The clean tones are well-defined with robust mids and lows, and a subtle bite to the high end lends a certain crispness to whole tonal picture. When run through a distortion channel or pedal, the ES-175 maintains its stellar balance, especially with the bridge pickup. The neck pickup gives a comparatively bassier sound, but retains the guitar's clarity. Though most readily associated with jazz, the ES-175 is an extremely versatile instrument that is championed by many rock 'n rollers, including Yes virtuoso Steve Howe.

Featues:

- Dual alnico classic (tm) humbuckers on a large hollowbody for a robust tone great for Jazz
- Archtop maple body with Florentine cutaway to reach those higher frets
- Stylish chrome hardware with deco tail piece and read more split trapezoidal inlays to complement the vintage sunburst finish
- Epiphone limited lifetime warranty with 24/7/365 customer service

Combining stylish elements with a classic hollowbody build, the Epiphone ES-175 is an outstanding testament the quality and elegance of the original guitar introduced in 1949.

Sound
Having owned and enjoyed a '63 Gibson ES-175, This Epiphone guitar has a very familiar feel and tone - in some ways better! Blues, Jazz, Rockabilly or Fusion - it is all there. I like the deep tone and slightly more solid feel of this instrument acoustically - plugged into the Fender stereo Princeton, it really has any hollow-body tone you could want Less feedback than the Gibson... Neck has excellent comfort - an everyday guitar.
