The 2004 Gibson Steve Howe Signature ES-175 in 1964 Sunburst is a hollow-body archtop voiced for jazz and classic tones with player-focused appointments. It retains the ES-175’s feedback-resistant laminate maple construction (vintage-style sunburst finish), fitted with Howe's preferred Grover Roto-Matic tuners for stable, precise tuning. This signature model includes a pickup selector knob modeled after the keystone Kluson tuner button and a ZigZag-style tailpiece, giving it period-appropriate visual character while preserving the warm, woody midrange and rounded treble the ES-175 is known for. Nut width is 1 11/16" (approximately 42.9 mm), providing the traditional neck feel many jazz players prefer.
