Description

This lovely Gibson ES-175 from 1953 has everything a jazz player is looking for. Its warm sounding P-90s, especially from the neck position, have defined its legendary status. Joe Pass was known for the tones from his ES-175 and we can see why he played it as much as he did, despite having other higher end models in his possession.
