Best Price Guarantee

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

Price just lowered ! 1968 Gibson es 175 in very good condition with original pickup and new refret,  no structural repairs. Original owner tried to change the tuners and really marked and put digs in the front of the  headstock around each tuner, to make shorter tuners fit on this guitar. We filled the  digs, and resprayed the front of the headstock, but the fills can be seen on the front around each tuner because of the difference in the color over the fills.  Original pickup, changed tuners correct period,(originals in case) , original finish, slight flaking on side between jack and strap button, 1 10/16 at nut. Great tone. Original owner.
