MAKE & MODEL
1968 Gibson ES-175
WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU
I feel like I’ve accomplished something being able to own it.
WHAT IT SOUNDS LIKE
It is really sparkles but has a bite. Perfection.
THOUGHTS ON CUSTOM MODS
I feel like vintage guitars should remain vintage. The less you do to them, the more they sound like they were intended to.
OTHER NOTES
I was guitar shopping at Rudy’s in NYC and he said I HAD to buy this guitar. He was right. Never saw one like it before or since.
CAN BE HEARD ON
15th & Hope, produced by legendary producer Phil Ramone (R.I.P.), dominantly used on “Stars” and “Monsters.”
