Gibson ES-175 - My choice electric

Gibson’s famous archtop electric, the ES-175, is the guitar of choice for those wishing to create that smooth jazz guitar sound. Found in the hands of many artists, the instrument’s sound is produced by the larger resonant soundbox. The “f holes” allow sound to re-enter the instrument and that resonance is transfered to the strings–thus the sustain and the “smooth” sound favored by Jazz players. Though many different types of music can be and is played on the Gibson 175, the instrument sings in the more lyrical musical venues.
