Gibson ES-175 Steve Howe Signature Cutaway Archtop Sunburst, 2002

On January 22, 2018 /

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.

Gibson ES-345 TD Left Hand Conversion Refinish, 1979

On January 22, 2018 /

The Gibson ES-345 TD is the mid level in the thinline ES series, but sometimes it has been hard to find a left handed version. Consequently, players take various approaches to accomodate the orientation, from simply adapting technique to flipping the guitar over. Here, the controls were moved to the other side of the top and the bridge shifted to intonate properly.

While it has strong visual similarities to the popular ES-339, the Gibson CS-336 has significant differences in construction. Instead of using separate materials for the top, back and sides, the CS-336 has back and sides carved from a single block of mahogany.
