DCBirdMan Posted November 24, 2014 Share Posted November 24, 2014 I think I have this right? Ok there were single pickup 175s from 1949 thru 1971 Then no single p/u (except some special orders) from 1972 thru about 1992 when the Herb Ellis 165 came out. Then single p/u 175 back on the scene some time last decade/turn of the century. What I would like to know is are the Ellis 165 (except for the later version that had a different neck pickup and a guard mounted volume control) really the same as the newer 175s or even the older ones (not including early P-90 version) Reason for this inquiry is I am looking for a single p/u 175 that is not a P-90 one (need a bucker) not a high priced '57-62' PAF one, and not a narrow neck late 60s one. The used Ellis 165s seem to be going for quite a bit less than the recent single p/u 175s (or at least what they are put out for) These recent snigle p/u VOS or whatever 175 don't seem to be sellign used for the 3500 they are out for. Bottom line -- if I get a good 90s Ellis, is that pretty much an 90s 175 (even tho they weren't made then) Thanks for all input. RB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
