MORE →The Gibson ES-175 is a fully hollow, archtop electric guitar. As such, in a situation like an arena stage with rock band volumes, it should feed back to the point of detonation, but Howe made it work. Since the late 1940’s, Gibson has used maple laminates on guitars like this because of its improved feedback rejection compared to the solid maple and spruce used on acoustic archtops.

It features the classic 17 inch wide body with carved Spruce top and flamed Maple for the back,sides and neck, a bound headstock and Rosewood for the fingerboard and bridge. The back is nicely figured though the shaded finish is so dark you can’t see much of it.
