The ultimate jazz box, favoured by almost everyone from Pat Metheny to Joe Pass. Full and rich hollow body tone. I swapped out the neck pup for a Kent Armstrong P90 which gives a more edgey sound, with more precision and less bloom compared to the humbucker. It also seems to handle feedback better. The original 175s came with P90s, so this is a modern take on that classic sound. It’s single coil, but Reverse Wound / Reverse Polarity so no hum. If you don't like it, I'm including the original as well which can easily be re-installed. The guitar itself in great condition with hardly a mark on it, nothing that can be photographed. The wine red looks very classy - a few shades deeper than the more common cherry found on 335s and 339s etc. If you're comparing prices, please note that this has the flame maple top, back and sides - typically around £4000 new. Includes Gibson hard case in perfect condition. Text me on 07941700952 with any questions, or if you want to come check it out in London NW10
