Gibson / Memphis Historic ES175 Sunburst VOS 2014 / 1959 / Guitar

First released in 1949, Gibson's ES-175 immediately set a benchmark for jazz tone and performance that remains the standard to this day. For most players, though, the ES-175 fully reached its potential a decade later in 1959, when the PAF humbucking pickups that had replaced its original P-90s in 1957 were joined by a new rounded, ultra-comfortable neck profile. A few years after creating these instruments, we dare say that the 2014 reissues are some of the most accurate reproductions of the original guitars. From the three-ply maple back and sides with a three-ply AAA plain maple top, to the Honduran mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard that features characteristic split-parallelogram position markers and a rounded late '50s profile. The hardware includes a replica traditional floating rosewood bridge, and a correct "zig-zag" trapeze tailpiece and this 175 ends with the aged 57 Classic pickup in the neck position that makes some of the most legendary tones available right away, and an elegant Vintage Sunburst with Gibson's VOS treatment for a softly aged appearance. This ES175 is near mint, except for a staight weatherchecking line in Florentine cutaway. Due to the laminate construction of the 175, its not a wood issue but only an optical lacquer imperfection.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
