Gibson 2016 ES-175 Figured Reissue


Recommended Posts

I'm in the process of acquiring a 2016 ES-175 Figured Reissue, but I'm wondering if the price isn't a bit too high. The guitar looks in impeccable conditions.

Its s/n is 10146701 which seems following the s/n logic and dates (26/01/16).

But looking at the demos online it seems less valuable than a VOS (at least sound wise). Any expert opinion?

Very difficult to say.  From googling pics it looks like a very nice issue.

And Music Zoo have a 2017 one right now -

How do you mean less valuable 'sound-wise'?  Are the pickups not similar?

I have a 175.  Very generally - I think with most of them you can hope it will keep its price and perhaps appreciate a bit. 

Of course there are some versions that are more sought-after.  And - they haven't made them recently either. The ES275 seems to have taken its place for the moment.
