  • One of the most iconic jazz instruments of all time, the ES-175 has established it's place in history as a must have for anyone looking for the ultimate jazz box instrument. The ES-175 was first released in 1949, as Gibson's mid-level laminate top alternative to some of their higher end offerings. The ES-175 was also the first instrument to feature the popular florentine cutaway, a look that has remained the same for generations. An incredible, instantly recognizable clean tone and the ability to growl when needed has made the ES-175 the choice of many notable players from Joe Pass to Steve Howe. The Wildwood Staff cordially invites you to discover these wonderful instruments, which have found a special place in the hearts of players all over the world.

    The playing and the pickups in that body is so amazing! The laminates don't choke the sound in that ES175 ! Thanks for the demo Mr Koch , as usual you sound great!

      Head Room he seems to be the chuck Norris of the guitar he semis to know all of them. He sounds great with any guitar.

    Yeah a es335 also works with high gain...
    Btw.. all that high gain $9000 boutique tube amp stuff is bullshit. Its just selling 1940 tech with a few tweaks and then jacking the price 100x of what it costs to make a heavy obsolete unit...
    Listen to frank gamble on digital and solid state sums it up.

    Lovely guitar but this guy's on speed. Wish he'd slow down and talk a little slower and little more about the guitar features. It's called DeCaf. Look into it.

    Pretty inappropriate demo. This is based on this is primarily a jazz guitar. But it just sounds sharp and played with distortion ? Pretty sad . Totally unrealistic. This guy can play guitar no doubt but I would say most people looking For a demo of this model would be comparing it to a more expensive 175 . Mainly used for smooth woody tones and round warm sounds.

      Am I missing something? This IS a 175. He DID play some jazz. He played some other stuff too, which most do, so it's literally realistic.

      I own the Gibson ES-175 with tiger stripe maple blonde finish that I bought from Wildwood. It's a beautiful sounding guitar that's very versatile. I never found the word "jazz" stamped on this guitar anywhere. You don't have to play jazz on it, and many people don't. The only thing that I would consider sacrilegious would be to put .009 strings on it. Heavier gauge strings allow the body to resonate and adds to the tone. And I use .012 round wounds, not flat wounds. Flat wound strings dull the tone and sound like crap.

      Unrealistic? What does that even mean? He just played the guitar with distortion and it sounds great- realistically
