Some guitars never go out of style. The Gibson ES-175 has been the voice of countless jazz recordings, finding its way into the hands of legends like Joe Pass, George Benson, Jim Hall, and Herb Ellis. This 1972 Blonde ES-175D captures everything that made the model a standard: warm, articulate humbuckers, effortless playability, and a timeless natural finish that only gets better with age.

The blonde finish has mellowed into a beautiful honey amber with some honest light wear, letting the maple grain take center stage. It's an elegant instrument whether you're comping standards, chasing bebop lines, or exploring blues and classic rock. And if there's a little Ted Nugent in you, this guitar has plenty of attitude waiting to be unleashed.
