Landshark Posted January 29, 2017 Share Posted January 29, 2017 Decided to try something different, and so far very happy. I bought a new Gibson Memphis ES-275 Figured Vintage Dark Natural hollow body. I love the tone, the neck feels just like my LP and it looks beautiful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twang Gang Posted June 4, 2017 Share Posted June 4, 2017 That is a beauty Landshark. [thumbup] I was wondering how thick the body is? The Gibson site does not spell out the body dimensions. Also what scale length 24.75 or 25.5? It looks to be a little thicker than a 335 or 336 (semi hollows), but not as thick as a 175 or L-5. Has some nice appointments like the bone nut, split parallelogram markers and the MHS pickups are touted as very like original PAFs. Little surprised by the Richlite fingerboard at this price point, but nothing wrong with that. Does it rock out at all or is it leaning more toward a jazz/blues box? You mentioned the neck felt like a LP. Should sound sweet through your Fender amp. Enjoy it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is wider than my 335 but not as think as my 175. The body is smaller than both. Scale length is 24.75. I have only used mine on jazz/blues/r&b gigs. I currently have NYXL .11-.50 but will probably see how the TI Jazz Swing .11 flatwounds sound on it. Richlite is not an issue for me. Tone is sweet through my DRRI, TRRI and Mustang III v.2.

Twang Gang Posted June 30, 2017 Share Posted June 30, 2017 Thanks for checking back and answering my questions. Glad you are enjoying it and I agree some flatwounds will probably sound great on it. I recently got a new 356 semi with a Richlite board and if I didn't know what it was I would've thought it was ebony. Amazed by your indoor photo and how much different it looks than the one you took outdoors. That is one sweet looking axe. [thumbup] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pesh Posted July 2, 2017 Share Posted July 2, 2017 These are awesome guitars; played two a few weeks back - one standard cherry and one like yours. Sadly the one like yours had some quality issues but both played marvellously! Congratulations! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chas1133 Posted July 3, 2017 Share Posted July 3, 2017 It's a beauty. I have an issue with Gibson using Richlite at the price point here....I know they're a business but... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
