Description

Gibson ES 165 Herb Ellis Signature de 1991 (1ere année de production)   POur les amateurs de belles et bonnes guitares, je mets en vente (comme toujours pour financer d'autres achats) une très belle pièce de ma collection (sur quel critère? Généralement j'essaye d'éliminer les guitares qui font double emploi; je ne vends que des guitares que j'achèterais les yeux fermés. Elle est en superbe état et on voit qu'elle a été chouchoutée et préservée. Quelques petites griffes, des traces sur le pickguard, pas de marques de ceinture! Lègère oxydation de l'accastillage doré, cette pin-up à 17 ans.....mais elle a permission de minuit (mot de passe : blue note). Le case a été utilisé, présente plusieurs coups mais reste parfaitement fonctionnel   La forme d'une Es 175, le même type de manche, mais un seul micro, jazzy à souhait. Le modèle utilisé par Herb Ellis pendant ses années avec le Oscar Peterson Trio. Elle fut pendant 10 ans le modèle jazz le plus populaire de Gibson. Je suis à votre disposition pour toute question. Avec plaisir   La guitare est en vente sur d'autres supports... Ne tardez pas trop pour enchérir. Je connais la valeur des guitares et le Blue Book est en bonne place dans ma bibliothèque.  :)   Answers in English, Spanish and Portuguese, en ik zal mijn best ook in het nederlands!     Erable laminé

Sure, every headbanger can pound out power chords and riff off your basic pentatonic scale (but pretty fast, we might add). On the other hand, precious few guitar players ever have the drive and determination to truly master the music style that's called jazz. Of course, that label covers a lot of sonic territory, but so has Herb Ellis's career. He first came into the limelight when he replaced Barney Kessel in the Oscar Peterson Trio, where he stayed from 1953 until 1958 (longer than The Beatles were together). For most of that time, he played a Gibson ES-165. Now the company has released a Herb Ellis Signature ES-165, and darned if it isn't a little bit of that 1950s magic at work. With its maple top, curly maple back and sides and its authentic BJB Floating pickup, it's easy to see why jazz musicians find this type of guitar irresistible. True, it has only that one pickup and one volume control. The Vintage Sunburst is nice, but it's all in the fingers, folks. All in the fingers!

Gibson Herb Ellis ES-165 at a Glance:

  • Hollow-body design with maple laminated top, curly maple laminated back and sides in Vintage Sunburst finish with multi-ply-ply binding
  • One-piece mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard and split parallelogram inlays
  • Specially designed BJB Floating pickup


Simple, Tasteful, Sophisticated
Where rock is concerned, there's no such thing as too much of... well, anything! The more outrageous, the better. Jazz is a totally different animal, and it requires - demands - musicians that are willing to learn to play in any scale in any key. And they must play with fluidity and grace, for that's what jazz is all about. If you're putting together your Thin Lizzy tribute band, odds are good you can stop reading now (if you haven't already). If you're ready to reach deep down into your soul and commit to thousands of hours of practice, and if you're willing to spend the few thousand hours required to solo over an improvised set of nearly incomprehensible (for the rest of us) chords. Have a look at the Herb Ellis ES-165 in Vintage Sunburst with multi-ply binding.

A Neck Built for Jazz
In jazz circles, there's no trendy "wide and fat" or "slim-taper '60s" necks. You go out and find the guitar that sounds the best, then you learn to play on the neck and fingerboard that's attached. The Herb Ellis ES-165's one-piece mahogany neck doesn't lend itself to labels. It is what it is. If you're looking for what other people think of as "cool," you'd best look elsewhere. The traditional rosewood fingerboard has classy split parallelogram inlays and single-ply binding.

A Specially Designed BJB "Floating" Pickup Where is it floating? Why over the guitar's body, of course. It's attached to the pickguard so it responds more to the vibrations of the strings than a combination of string and guitar body resonance. Does it sound great? In the right hands and the right musical setting, it's simply without equal. Think it's for you? Grab it now, because Gibson doesn't build many of these beauties!
