Overview

A luxury Custom Shop special based on Herb's classic ES-175.

A BJB floating pickup on the Gibson ES-165 Herb Ellis Electric Guitar produces warm, round, and articulate tone for peerless jazz flavor. Single volume knob on the pickguard keeps it simple and keeps the top wood pristine for amazing resonance. Gold-plated hardware, including the unique bridge, combine with split parallelogram inlays on the rosewood fretboard and full binding with multi-ply on top to create stunning visual elegance.
