Gibson ES-175 TDN VOS '59 Reissue - USA 2015

Here is a Gibson ES-175 TDN VOS ’59 Reissue in Natural finish, a beautifully executed vintage-inspired jazz archtop based on the highly regarded 1959 ES-175 specification, a period when the model had fully matured into its most refined and widely respected form. This reissue captures the balance, warmth, and clarity that made the original a long-time favourite among professional jazz players, while offering the reliability and consistency of modern Gibson Custom Shop production.

This example features a traditional fully hollow construction with a single cutaway design and a comfortable, rounded neck profile that sits naturally in the hand. The tone is warm, full, and articulate, with a strong fundamental and smooth high end that responds beautifully to dynamic playing. It is fitted with flatwound strings, reinforcing its classic jazz voice and enhancing its rounded, mellow tonal character.

Finished in Natural VOS specification, the guitar presents with a traditional, understated aesthetic that suits its vintage inspiration. It delivers excellent dynamic response and clarity, making it particularly well suited to straight-ahead jazz, swing, and chord melody styles where warmth and note definition are essential.

Condition is excellent with only minimal signs of use and it remains a clean, well-preserved example. Comes with its original Gibson hard shell case and Certificate of Authenticity.
