Reinvented Classic Archtop

The 2018 Gibson ES-275 Custom in Sunset Burst finish 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 dark rosewood fretboard, the thin-line body design features a single rounded cut away. The grover “Milkbottle” Rotomatic tuners and pinned bridge ABR-1 bridge with titanium saddles offer precise intonation and stability. Rich tones are always on tap thanks to the hand-wired control assembly with Orange Drop capacitors, 550K matched pots, and our MHS humbucking pickups.
