Seven comes eleven, and three become one, led by this 1979 Gibson ES-175CC. Part of our first real guitar show haul in over a year, this rare, Charlie Christian-inspired jazz box (one of just 489 produced from 1978 to 1979) features the artist’s signature blade pickup, lending an old charm to a modern masterpiece.

More about the ES-175CC:
Produced for a limited time in the late seventies, the ES-175CC features standard ES-175 specifications with the exception of the Charlie Christian-style pickup.
The ES-175 is a single- or dual-pickup archtop electric guitar made by Gibson. Unlike Gibson's L5 and Super 400 guitars, the ES-175 typically has an all-laminate construction, which allows the cost of materials and construction to be kept down, as well as assisting in keeping feedback at higher volumes manageable.
The ES-175 has a rosewood fingerboard with parallelogram inlays, a 3" deep body, a floating bridge, one or two humbuckers (current models are equipped with Gibson's 57 Classic pickups, replicas of the PAF pickups from the late 1950s), 20 frets (earlier models had 19 frets) and independent volume and tone controls for each pickup. The guitar has the standard Gibson scale length of 24.75" and normally has a sunburst and natural finish, though Gibson has produced limited runs in black, white, and wine red. Hardware is usually chrome or nickel, with limited runs of gold-plate. The ES-175 was designed to be a cheaper alternative to Gibson's high-end archtop models
