Gibson Memphis ES-275 Custom 2017 - Sunset Burst

This is a very rare Memphis Factory Gibson Custom ES-275 "Sunset Burst" Thinline hollow body archtop 2017.

The finish and build quality of this Gibson Custom Shop guitar is truly staggering.

And as it was formally part of a very large guitar collection it has had very light occasional use and shows no obvious signs of wear, no marks or issues.

We would describe it as near mint in terms of its condition. The setup is absolutely perfect, and although we gave it a full workshop inspection here, there was very little to do other than stand back and admire this fine instrument!

From the high-quality Gold Grover machine heads to its lovely smooth rounded C profile neck it is a guitar that you can play effortlessly, helped by its thinline body style which is super comfortable.

It has Gibson MHS Alnico II & III humbuckers, which were specially developed for this ES hollowbody model which are extremely versatile, from mid-range floating rhythm harmonies and singing blues sounds to more dominant solo passages à la George Benson.

Including its original Custom Gibson hardshell case, case accessories, and all paperwork including its certificate of authenticity.

"The Gibson Memphis designed the ES-275 Custom based on input from players demanding modern playability from a traditional hollow-body jazz guitar. Gibson began with the iconic L-5 body and made the dimensions more compact for comfort on long gigs. The neck comes from a Les Paul to offer additional frets and better access to them. And the MHS pickups used in the ES-275 are quickly becoming a favorite at New York Music Emporium for their clarity and ability to bring the best in your hollowbody. The ES-275 Custom could easily become Gibson’s next classic"
