Sleeko Posted September 7, 2014 Share Posted September 7, 2014 To start the show this is my ES 175 SP Very nice. Would the Herb Ellis models count or are they a different animal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlanC Posted September 7, 2014 Author Share Posted September 7, 2014 Very nice. Would the Herb Ellis models count or are they a different animal? They probably should count but technically as I understand it they are ES165's. However some of the earlier Herb Ellis's have single humbuckers in them and not the floating pickup which is more common in recent times. ES 165's can be a lot cheaper to buy and represent pretty good vaue.I own an ES165 but this is an old photo as I modified it after owning it for 3 years cos I didn't like its tone Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Californiaman Posted September 11, 2014 Share Posted September 11, 2014 Nice ES-175. I like mine with two pickups (Classic 57s). It's my most played guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlanC Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 Interesting color. What is it? Hi Sleeko. That was a very early photo and the color has improved with age. I think the color is Light Burst Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sleeko Posted September 16, 2014 Share Posted September 16, 2014 Very nice, I like it. Reminds me of an almond burst. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cody78 Posted September 18, 2014 Share Posted September 18, 2014 I haven't seen too many Herb's in Light Burst - that's a really nice colour. A few years back I tried a wine red Herb Ellis with the floating pickup and was quite impressed, but strangely it didn't feel as nice to play as my 175. I remember wondering why this was, as I thought a 165 & 175 had the same rounded ES neck profile?, however, it was a great guitar and at a good price too. Btw, that single pickup 175 at the top of the thread is gorgeous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
