ES 175 Type Guitars

[Lu_B]

I have GAS bad at the moment and am looking to buy an ES 175 type guitar.

Can anyone recommend something other than a Gibbo - the pennies won't strech that far!

I've spotted a very pretty Epi ES 295 Goldtop with P90's and Bigsby on Ebay - has anyone got any experience of this sort of thing?

Cheers

Might be worth checking out the chinese Ibanez models:

How about a used Gibson ES-135? Those can be had used for $750-$900.

do u like ? they are the XTone from ESP. not the same as the ES, kinda like an alternative.

they can come with bigsby too.

oh and guess what ? the stock pups are SD JB and Jazz.

Epi are well known for semis and hollowbodies, but I'm not a Jazz man, so I can only assume that they will sound good with a duncan or 2 in them, like most other epis

Some of the Ibanez semi-hollow and hollow body guitars are very nice to play . . . at least the ones that I've tried.
