ES 175 Slimline

Recommended Posts

An interesting guitar on UK E Bay. An ES175 Slimline. As the seller says not many of these were made but the reason was they didn't sell. I don't know why.

 

The last one of these on E bay was a couple of years ago. I bin £1500 but lost to £1600. Today's seller is asking £3500, interesting!

Actually there's an option perhaps that may make more sense to more players

It has different pups and probably a bit different shape. Still... it's obviously directed at roughly the same market, then and now, and it's not a huge market regardless of price tag.

 

I may be wrong, but I think a thinline 175 style doesn't quite have enough market niche to be a regular "standard" by any relatively high production company.
