About This Listing

Here we have a really cool ES 175 owned and played by the one of the greatest guitar players in the world and a true blues expert Mr. Kirk Fletcher.  If you love the blues, check out Kirk and learn it's origins and evolution to keep it alive. 

Kirk has had this killer box modified to be one of the coolest guitars you could ask for and with the Ron Ellis P90s wired out of phase, there are plethora classic blues tones within those knobs.  Not to mention da funk!

The mods and upgrades were done by none other than Nick Drushel of Glaser Instruments in Nashville, TN. (They're about as good as it gets really). It is perfectly in tune. There was a previously repaired neck that was given a stamp of approval by Glaser Instruments, so nothing to worry about there.  Tuners were replaced at some point as well.

The finish checking and player wear all add up to one word...MOJO!

*All of the original replaced parts come with the guitar and all mods are reversible...but why would that be necessary because this thing is RULING!

Product Overview
With a fully hollow body and sharp Florentine cutaway, the Gibson ES-175 stands out as an all-time iconic jazz guitar. The ES-175 has seen some variation over the years, with different pickup and hardware configurations coming in and out of the Gibson lineup. Although the ES-175 is noted as a jazz guitar, it has also been embraced by rock players like Yes' Steve Howe who has a signature model. With more contemporary models, the quality of the flame on the Maple top can increase the value.
