Epiphone

A fabulous classic archtop almost anybody can afford.

The Epiphone ES-175 Electric Guitar brings back one of the world's most beloved instruments. In 1949 Gibson introduced the ES-175 to enduring and well-deserved acclaim. Since it was primarily an electric guitar, it didn't need the very large dimensions of a classic archtop, but it still benefited from the full hollowbody resonance of an archtop design enhanced by Gibson's fabulous new humbuckers. This Epiphone version has the same sumptuous vintage vibe of the original, including dual Alnico Classic humbuckers, a meticulously applied sunburst finish, split parallelogram fretboard inlays on a bound rosewood fretboard, rosewood bridge base, gold top hat knobs, and deco trapeze tailpiece.

Features

  • Maple top, back and sides
  • Set mahogany neck
  • Rosewood fretboard and bridge base
  • Alnico Classic humbuckers
  • Bound top, back, and fretboard
  • Chrome hardware

It's not going to get up and walk over to your house of its own volition. You've got to order it. Do it now!

ES175 Revisited

| Review By: William T Smith | 2 weeks, 2 days ago

0 people out of 0 found this review helpful

Features:

The features are what I expected to come with this "Jazz Box". Grover keys, tune-o-matic bridge,strap pegs, bound neck,retro style tail piece and a really nice sun burst finsh make this a great looking guitar.

Quality:

It played well out of the box but needed minor adjustment to intonation. A change to a set of #12 D'Addario flat wounds made this a very pleasing package. I did feel that an upgraded pup was in order and so replaced the neck postion with a Seymour-Duncan Jazz.

 

A slight buzz from the pick guard at the bridge pup was fixed with a slice of cork from my favorite Charddonay.

Value:

All in all, I am happy with this purchase. Be reminded though that this is a thick body guitar and may be a little heavier than you expected. I use this guitar in my studio and therefore always sit down to play. Some may find that "standing up" is not comfortable.

Overall:

I think this guitar is worth the price and although I have others, I play it on a regular basis.

Absolute Great Jazz Box

| Review By: Flynztone | 1 month, 3 weeks ago

Overall:

I own a couple of Epi's and the other is am American made Gigson Epi 335. The 335 came with rather cheap tuning machines and pickups but other than that it is built like a tank. The ES-175 reissue on the other hand is sweet. It is a quality made guitar with Grover tuning machines and potted pickups that sound good out of the box. I bought this guitar as I needed a good jazz guitar that wouldn't break the bank and this definitely filled the bill. The Florentine cutaway is beautiful as well. It came strung from the factory with 11's and a wound 3r'd which were too light for the sound I was trying to achieve. I immediately strung it up with a nice set of DR Flatwound 13's and this required me to set the action and intonation however once I got it setup it plays and sounds like a dream. I cannot believe that Epiphone can offer such a high quality guitar at such a low price and quality control was on the job the day mine was built as there are no buzzes ot rattles etc. Prior to purchasing this guitar I did my homework and read nothing but rave reviews regarding this instrument and I highly recommend this for guitarists of all levels. It's just a sweet guitar period and sounds great right out of the box. Mine has a limited edition custom shop sticker on the back of the headstock which would lead one to assume that it won't be in production for long or the price will rise drastically in the near future. Epiphone has hit a home run out of the park with this little gem and by the way the guitar is a bit heavy!

Epiphone ES-175

| Review By: Ken Katz | 3 months, 11 hours ago

5 people out of 5 found this review helpful

Features:

This is a great sounding Jazz box, and a bargain for the money. Mine is about 4 years old and made in Korea's custom shop. Smooth Jazz sounds, and on the treble pickup a nice Spanish sounding electric.

Epiphone has put this in the out of production listing, so if you can find one new out there, they are probably not going to be around much longer.

Great Guitar For Not Much Money

| Review By: Michael Plourde | 4 months, 1 week ago

8 people out of 8 found this review helpful

Features:

This guitar has all the features you'd expect on a quality guitar.  If you want a hollowbody, you need to try this one.  I tried the Emperor Regent but it has only the 1 pickup in the neck position.  They and all 1 pickup models are not good for chordwork due to the limited and bassy tone.  (They'd be fine for jazz solos.)  The tone & volume controls, the beautiful finish, the tuners, the solid feel are some of the reasons that this model is really nice.  Evan at twice this price it's a great guitar.

It did not come with the case included and I was unable to find one at MF website.  It is an Epiphone model #eemcs and can be bought at zzounds.com for under a hundred.

Quality:

My experience is mostly with strats, gibson acoustics, a les paul and also trying countless guitars.  I owned 2 other Epis before and didn't warm up to them because they were bassy, having just the 1 neck pickup and they were difficult to tune.  Not true with this model.  The tuners seem very good and the guitar stays in tune well.  I'm picky about tuning and I love the ES-175.  The finish is very good.  I was very surprised at how glossy and beautiful the guitar is.

Value:

This guitar has to be rated a solid 10 for value in my opinion.  I don't remember trying another guitar that delivered so much quality for so little money.  (well, except for the Squire Affinity Tele at less than 2 hundred).   I did try a Gibson ES-137 which I liked but the action was not real good and the price is prohibitive.

Overall:

I've been playing this for 2 solid weeks and couldn't be happier with this ES-175.  Great job Epiphone.
