Ah, fresh meat... err, I mean welcome, new guy Graham Houts! 🤗 It's cool to see a new face at NRG. As much as I've always loved ES-175 models (and I love them dearly), I still don't have one. Does anyone out there feel inspired to donate one? 😄 I promise to coax the sweetest notes from her and always treat her special. 🙃
Really dextrous, nice touch, thankyou Graham. I believe the ES175 differs from the L5 in various respects; the L5s we're all solid, originally hand carved maple with spruce tops. They had parallel bracing and we're large instruments. ES 175s were indeed more of a workhorse (costing $175) with laminated top, back & sides (maple), originally fitted with p90's and I think cross bracing. Check out Joe Pass & Pat Metheny!
Well I couldn't afford one of these when I was studying jazz so I got a blond '56 Guild x500 that needs to be restored still to this day. Please god help me get the binding redone without going into extreme debt.
Talk about throwing a guy in the fire. When you play like that Graham, your guitar does all the talking for you. Noticed how master specs Brandon always seems to be grabbing a guitar in the back ground in the videos.
Damn that was great! But what is the name of that first tune! I know I recognize it and it is stuck on the tip of my tongue but I can't remember it for the life of me. Somebody help me out and Happy New Year!
It's strange to me when I hear that. The reason is because of how "smart" it is, and I for one can definitely appreciate it. The complexity of it is incredible. Idk how anyone can hate anything to be honest...there's so much to appreciate. It makes me think someone is completely dumb and lost when they say they hate jazz
@Wesley alan understood, but I'd just rather sit in silence than run up blind alleys musically.. I must just be dumb I suppose...love billy strings tho lol plus I'm convinced complexity in certain genres of music make people believe they must be uber intelligent/ complex to enjoy it & love to show everyone else who might disagree?
@@deanlatimer2323 Absolutely. I tend to give others a hard time when they say they hate something..it's not personal, I promise. It's the reaction I'm looking for, and your reaction was perfect. You're a good dude, I can tell👍

Cool guitar. Nice playing Graham.

Kalamazoo Michigan USA is the birthplace of this fine instrument 🎸
😎 Thanks Jen Graham Brandon ⚓️
I have a 2016 natural 175 which I understand it was the last of the production runs of the 175's that then became custom shop only.

Welcome aboard, Graham. Good to hear the jazz influence :)
Nice to hear the natural tone.
Seems a bit nervous and who wouldn't be? Relax, kid. You're part of the family, now. Welcome to the newest member.
Awesome, Welcome to the Thumder Dome!🤟
💊🍄🌿
Super Graham! Great pickin'! And gorgeous ES175. That's my dream guitar.
Actually found myself clapping for his debut. I think I need to get a life 😂. Well done.
Impressive!
I like Graham, very talented and has a lot to offer! Welcome.
Very nice, Graham! Welcome aboard. I'd love to see the cutie behind the camera some day.
Very nice job and I hope you enjoyed it too
Pretty select company you are joining
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. First Rate demonstration.
Hey there. Is Lemmo away again?
Well done Graham!
Good job Graham!
Brandon do u assume we know what tone wood the body is made of ? I don’t...Mr Spekcheck what wood is the body
Masterful
WOULD THIS BE A GIBSON ES 175DN
Welcome
awesome playing Graham! :-)

The numbers refer to original list price
I very happy with my ES175. So when i see that video I think about problem with reverberation, it made sound like program, not natural

What wood is it made of

Thanks! The first tune is Body and Soul
@@grahamhouts7447 oh thank god it was driving me crazy
Whats the tune from 7:43 to 8:21?
Anybody know the song @ 7:05 when he changes to middle position on the pick ups?
Oleo by Sonny Rollins!
@@grahamhouts7447 respect to sonny but I think I like how your version encompasses the whole band. Cheers!
👌
It's a 175 because when it First came out I think in 1949, it was $175.
Great big fat jazz box, but it can rock if you want, too bad that aspect wasn’t demonstrated
More archtops and people that can play them!
Does this mean it's goodbye Michael Lemmo 🙃
The old Pat Metheny sound, but there is no toothbrush at the bridge
Can I have it?
We Have a New Todd...?
Birdland type ... Barney Kessel plays
good if you want to fall asleep!
personally I don't like the spoiler at the beginning
Agree, it kind of ruins it.
guitar sounded not quite right a few good jazz lines a few mistakes but cool
Kinda noisy, like it's got a loose input jack or a scratchy pot. 🤔
lovely guitar, but I hate jazz !

A humble response to my somewhat insulting response to you. I appreciate you for that. Keeping it real, brother
✌️🤟
@Wesley alan each to their own brother. we all like different stuff otherwise what a boring world we would live in 👍

Play it with distortion wey
Aye Jazz eh, it looks better than it sounds.
