ES-175
Gibson added a sharp “Venetian” cutaway and a fancier ngerboard to the
budget ES-125 model to create the ES-175. With the addition of a second
P-90 pickup in 1953, this quickly became a popular and enduring choice for
jazz guitarists.

Super 400
By the end of the 1940’s, changing musical styles found premium archtops
like the Super 400 to be lacking in volume. By simply adding the pickups and
controls developed for its early electric guitars, Gibson created the electric
version of the Super 400 in 1951. Our model is based on the version with
P-90’s. Check out Scotty Moore (and Elvis) playing the Super 400 in the ’68
Comeback Special.
