Gibson ES-275 Custom Dark Vintage Natural 2016

2016 ES-275 in excellent condition. This rare and now discontinued guitar is effectively a scaled-down thinline L5. Utterly awesome guitar of the kind that Gibson just doesn’t make anymore. Includes case and COA.

The Gibson ES-275 Custom is a reinvented classic archtop designed with the modern player in mind. Honoring the long tradition of Gibson’s great jazz guitars in looks, tone and feel, the ES-275 Custom offers players of any musical genre a timeless instrument with modern functionality.

For improved access to the 22 fret fretboard, the thinline body design features a single rounded cutaway. The Grover “Milk Bottle” Rotomatic tuners and pinned ABR-1 bridge with titanium saddles offer precise intonation and tuning stability. Rich tones are always on tap thanks to the hand-wired MTC Premiere control assembly with Orange Drop capacitors, 550K matched pots, and our MHS humbucking pickups.
