They're great guitars.
My guitar teacher had one and I loved to play that thing...a little out of my price range at the time & I don't see them around too often anymore, in my area at least...
I've got a 1952 ES-125, which the ES-175 from that era was basically the same guitar with slanted block inlays, a different tailpeice, and a cutaway. Oh, and better tuners. I love the thing to death.
I need a jazz box.
My current choices are between the Heritage 575, Heritage Golden Eagle, or my first choice - Heritage Super Kenny B or Kenny B Groovemaster
Its either one of those or a 175.
My ultimate dream though is the Gibson Wes signature. :32: :32:
I can't believe how versatile a guitar with only a neck pickup can be. On top of that, the tone knob doesn't even work, and it still kicks ass! Speaking of which... if i were to replace the tone control, what value pot and cap and all that shiite would I wanna use (assuming I want it as close to original as possible)?
