mgrasso Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Here's an odd one for the Wiki - an EPI ES-175. EPI ES-175 Had no idea they made these with the EPI logo. Body seems a little off. Could be the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thomse Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 That is a entry level Epiphone .student model. They made a few different models. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capmaster Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The linked guitar comes with 22 frets while an ES-175 should have 20. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crust Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I'd play that. I think it looks cool and it looks to be in pretty good shape Not a bad price for an oddball Epiphone jazz type guitar. Got any tunes you'd play that could use the 2 extra frets ? Set up for slide/blues ??? I've got way too many guitars but that looks nice, to me, even with 22 frets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a different beast in my opinion, although I don't have an idea which one up to now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crust Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 What is the "scale length", neck radius and neck width on that ? Would it be called a "long scale" ES-175 or would that be 24 frets ? lol I dig the truss rod cover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crust Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 The auction is still in progress, seems like a fair price, not a steal, but OK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milod Posted May 21, 2014 Share Posted May 21, 2014 I dunno... MF had an Epi es175 version for about $500 as I recall without a case. It got good reviews and was "epiphone" rather than "epi." Not sure, but I think I'd prefer a new Joe Pass at about the same tag. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mgrasso Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 They seem to be coming out of the woodwork now. Another EPI ES-175 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gulliver Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 Here's links to the unofficial wiki pages: Epi-Series Archtops and ES-Series. And, slightly off-topic... I have a 'proper' ES - 20 frets, full logo, Grovers... but oddly with no pickguard or evidence to suggest one has ever been mounted. I asked Gibson whether they were supplied with an unmounted guard included in the case, to which the response was 'they were supplied mounted'.
