Our goal at Guitars ‘n Jazz is to find you the best possible instrument that not only matches your personal requirements and play-style, but is also a guitar that you enjoy playing and look forward to picking up.

We strive to price our instruments as competitively as possible in order to give our customers the best possible value for their dollar. And as a guitarist myself I would never sell an instrument that didn’t live up to my own high standards and expectations.

All of our instruments are thoroughly inspected, tested, professionally set up, and carefully packed for shipment. And all instruments are sold with our 72 hour satisfaction guarantee.

We encourage you to call us for the best price possible. We routinely have demos, closeouts, blemishes, and used instruments available for purchase. And if you happen to find a lower price please let us know.

And please keep in mind that it’s difficult comparing various instruments on the Internet. Since many of our guitars come standard with upgraded woods and tone controls shopping by price alone won’t tell the whole story.

Since our inventory changes so frequently it’s best to call us to find all of your available options. With over 500 archtops in stock you can be assured that we have unbelievable guitars to fit any budget.

Product Description

Gibson es175CC – Very rare es175 cc with factory Charlie Christian pickup configuration. Less than 500 units of this model were made in the space of two years. This one plays and looks stunning, Very fat warm P90 tone. Marked second on the back, and other that quite a bit of overspray on the back of the headstock making it very difficult to read the serial number we could not find any problems with this guitar. We have no history on the guitar and it may have been sent back to Gibson for some type of repair or replacement. We have identified the minor repair in the last photo under a black light. It appears a small portion of the headstock parallel to the tuners had a separation and was re glued at the Gibson factory.
