Gibson jazz guitars are some of the best in the history of guitar making.
The Gibson ES-335... The Gibson L5-CES... and this one here... the Gibson ES-175D.
Is the Gibson ES-175D the greatest jazz guitar out of them all?
Let me tell you what I think.

that is one of the most beautiful sunburst figuring ive seen on a guitar
Based on the thumbnail , the last thing I expected you to play was a Jack Johnson song😂
Lol good ear
I love my Florentine cutaway, and her unplugged voice. Great review.
Big fan of your playing. I think you just convinced me to buy this guitar
Definitely one of the classics
what's the greatest jazz guitar in ur opinion?
@@everysingleguitars it’s a very subjective thing and it changes for me. Right now the L5 is my go to but have used the 335 for years for jazz and all types of music. The L5 and 175 are probably the most iconic guitars in the jazz world. But there are always plenty of great players that don’t like those guitars.
The inlays are called "double parallelogram" - iconic in itself. Ive have my 1978 '175 for 35 years and I'll never sell it. Its perfect.
Wow 35 years is a long time
*split parallelogram
I know a guy in my hometown that has a southern jumbo acoustic with split parallelogram inlays. It's got this really cool case that's white with brown spots like a 🐄 cow. I guess they only done that for a few. It's very collectable and he got it for stupid cheap and of course won't get rid of it 😡
Nice guitar! Thanks! 🌞
I love that gets are exactly how it is Florentine cut and all especially the Florentine cut.
That is literally the coolest most beautiful Gibson I've ever seen
I want that model
Alas I don't have the jazz chops to justify it
I am working on that parts in essence I'm a rock player
Congrats on the monster jazz box , man.
Get a Byrdland…
Steve Howe of Yes my favorite . Pull up “Steve Howe Guitar Solo” on YT. And then you’ll understand stand what you can accomplish on a ES 175. You might learn something.
Want to save up for one myself
I had the same cutaway feeling, then one day it hit, 360 I bonded with that design, great, great versatile instrument. Wes Montgomery, number one my favorite.
It appears you are slinging an .011-set of strings on there? I like using at least that heavy for wooden bridge guitars, it seems to get better clarity and richer tone. Nice guitar and great tone!
Yup , how did you know they were 11s?
I believe they are called dual parallelograms.Great review as usual!
When I tried to start learning guitar a month ago, I thought I’ll be trying to learn rock & blues. Now seeing jazz and acoustic players on YT makes me want to trade my Strat now for a semi hollow jazz guitar. Jazz is just that special.
Stratocaster is a great guitar for jazz too. Just dial down the tone knob to like 2-3
HAVE YOU HEARD MANOUCHE JAZZ?
Well, I was like that too at one time. Playing strats and doing the rock/blues (tired) thing. Wasn’t until I saw Steve Howe of Yes did my whole mindset change. Pull up Steve Howe Guitar Solos on YT and then you’ll understand the possibilities on a Es 175. Good luck!
Don't trade your Strat, keep it and save to get an ES-175. There's nothing wrong with having more than one guitar!!
Love it !
You should a buy Peavey T60. They're quite undderated. though the price has gone up on over the years. They are worth it. I bought one with all original parts in excellent condition 1978 for 425. Nowadays they can go close to 1000
concur... also, because i have one. 🤠
I have one too they are amazing guitars mines is a 1979 it weighs a tonne 10.5 lbs
does peavey make good guitars? i always viewed them as more of a guitar amp company than a guitar company
@@everysingleguitars their older guitars are great. Like the peavey t-15 , t- 25 , and one of their best the T60. I would recommend the t-60 since it has more tonal variations. And it's the best sounding out of the three with toaster pickups. I believe their newer stuff aint worth it. With the three guitar I listed, i believe there ain't even a piece of plastic. It's all great quality.
@@reececamptenmyers6063 how much did you get your t25 for? prices have skyrocketed recently
Gorgeous
Bought an ES 175 D in 1976 for $600 CAD in Montreal natural colour.
John Mayer Queen of California during the capo fingerstyle demo?
I recently bought an ES-135 from 2000s. Paid two thousand for it and the damn thing is so good, it pretty much plays itself. I really want an ES-175 but my concern is that I'll neglect the 135. Seriously, I have never in my life played something so sweet!
Yes, the 135 are underrated!
I like your instrument dude
Wow, I've never heard the bridge PU on a 175 before....
I want it
Nice music
Stevie Ray Vaughan.
why SRV?
@@everysingleguitars he was the first guitar player my mom pointed out to me. she thought i would really like him, especially being from Texas.
he's also one of the few musicians who got better after getting clean. i'm not sure why we have such a fascination with the hard living of "rock stars", but Vaughan beat that life, and 'In Step' is a brilliant record as a result.
gone too soon...
JAMES HETFIELD
downpicking master
Steve Howe.... enough said.
Izzy Stradlin used it for hard rock.
John Fogerty, 1968-69.
I bought a 1977 ibanez copy
👍
every single guitar? isn’t that what you mean? or is the name meant to be artsy?
How much you did you pay for it?
Probably $2700-4000 depending what year. Gibson discontinued the Es-175 around 5 years ago when they shut down the Memphis plant.
Guitar sounds absolutely beautiful
And so does your playing mate
They don`t produce the ES 175 anymore, that`s a reason for the increased prices!
old guys are dying. young guys don't want to play them.
I bought a 1977 ibanez copy
@@jonbon7219 when the young Guys getting old they want them again!
@@wolfgang4078 on used? for now
@@jonbon7219 there will be always a demand for a 175, it`s an icon in the guitarworld!
That thing is absolutely gorgeous
So young
Knock on that laminate again and say
"That wood"
So young
Wtf r u even talking about lol
DOUBLE PARALLELOGRAMS AND TULIP INLAY ON TH HEAD STOCK.
johnny winter
he made me want to buy a gibson firebird
Too bad Gibson no longer makes them 😢
Saw one of those in a store in 1975 for a few hundred bucks. Still kick myself for not getting it. But 4000? Nah. I get mine from china for 400. 👍
China ones don’t hold value tho…
Won't even compare.
I had a China one and it sounded great.. I really enjoyed playing it and it was very comfortable but I recently played a Gibson and it really was a fantastic guitar.. and for the price it better be..
Design has nothing to do with tone? That's simply not true.
Not as much for electric guitars. Pickups are more important for tone when it comes to electrics
10K for a guitar? Nothing compared to a Hauser or Fleta classical guitar---which is Chicken feed pricing compared to what some violins have sold for.
Instead of paying $4000 y’all iyv has a guitar that looks and plays just like this for $200
You must also think of the resale value as well
First play it yourself. Meaning: feel it. Sure, you can strum chords on any guitar, but if you’re serious about your playing and spend crazy hours practicing, you’ll appreciate 175D’s beautiful feeling, sick comfort and versatility.
Mine has been for 30yrs with me and though I have a stash of great guitars, this one still is very special to me.
About 20yrs ago my 175D has been played by George Benson onstage. He said “it feels great, feels like home” after the gig. True. You have to try it yourself for a day, there’s a reason why it’s expensive. It’s a gem.
You get what you pay for. If you only want to pay $200 don’t expect to play smooth Jazz.
How on earth could you not play any nice jazz chords? Can you even mention that this is mainly JAZZ GUITAR?!!
