On 2004-07-31, BobbyB rated this Gibson ES 175 Reissue a 5...(9594)


Purchase: I always liked the look of these guitars and I got this one from ebay. I won the bid for 1500.00.
Pros: It has a tobacco sunburst with one sharp cutaway, 2 57/PAF classic humbuckers, and the easiest playing guitar I ever played. The tone changes with every minimum move of the controls and is so sweet.
Cons: Unplugged it is not loud but still gives a good sound.
