I should not like to play a stolen instrument . That's the only problem with your ES 175 . I do like P90 on my ES 150 and humbuckers on my 69 Byrdland . Each one has his voice and I feel they are complementary , adding different and various and subtle nuances . About stolen instrument my only bad experience is about the wandre doris I lended long time ago to a french/ german fellow ( HARALD GLASS ).....before he disapeared with the guitar . They call it FRENCH / GERMAN friendship !!!!!!

​@@jean-lucbersou758 How much experience do you have with buying vintage guitars? Old guitars have often had a few owners, so you are unlikely to be talking to whoever bought it new. If you buy a guitar from the 50s or 60s then you can't expect to get receipts and guarantee papers. That is almost never the case, and you can check serial numbers if it has been listed as stolen but that doesn't go back to the 80s which leaves a 30 to 40 year gap of unknown. It's not like ordering from Thomann or Andertons 🙂

You never fail to address very interesting topics in a refreshing way. I never thought about using a semi-hollow for jazz until I purchased a D'Angelico Kurt Rosenwinkel. I didn't know who he was, but also never saw a semi-hollow with a spruce top for a lefty like myself. The sustain is addictive and useful even for copying legato saxophone lines. Thanks Jens for sharing your perspective, I'll be keeping this semi too!

Hi Jens lack of sustain is caused by lack of gain from P90 pickups. Simply add a boss G7 Graphic pedal and you will fix all problems. Also stand closer to your amp to get the guitar to inter react with your amp.

Happy New Year, Jens, and to all fellow musicians enjoying your site. @1:59, the arrow is pointed at the wrong shop. This is now a legit Key Music store. You probably bought your guitar one house to the right, where The Guitar Man used to be. They specialized in vintage guitars and I, regrettably, sold my ‘74 Jazz Bass (bought in a San Diego pawn shop so who knows where that came from) to them in the late nineties. I know, because I grew up right at the other side of that big churchtower! Fun fact: we lived above my dad’s store which was located across the street from Servaas, which, for years, was the largest music store in the Netherlands. Seeing the vans of The Hagues’s international rock legends such as Golden Earring and Earth&Fire pull up in front of our house was one of the reasons I wanted to play guitar. Now back on topic: tried several archtops but now play jazz on a Yamaha SA2200 (when bought used the best bang for the buck if you want a 335 style guitar) for exactly the reasons you mentioned. Just listen to Larry Carlton’s comping on the early Michael Franks record to convince you how jazzy a 335 can sound. Also, people will actually be able to hear what you play at gigs. Generally, at the gigs I play, the audience does not exactly sit quietly gawking at the musicians. And it’s so much more versatile if you also play blues, rock, fusion… Cheers, Anton

Not a comment on this video in particular, but Jens has the best guitar channel on KZbin. I checked out a bunch of his videos. I have a diploma of Jazz and I enjoy checking out even his beginner vids all the way up. I had a laid back teacher and he didn't get I to too much good stuff. I was playing in a country band while in school and did some great gigs in Arenas and stuff so he knew where I was going and my time restrsints as I had many other songs to learn for my job. He was surprised by Brent Mason solos and gave my craft some extra respect. I wish looking back I had the time to dedicate myself to jazz. I understood all the theoretical aspects and did very well but actually playing jazz I was pretty weak. Technically I'm a good player but I didn't have the repitiore or bag of licks. Watching these videos years later my curiosity is peaked and jumping in being able to play well already is a total treat. I love these videos. How well he explains himself. Examples with tab. This channel is so great for middle aged musicians with experience looking to branch out as well as beginners. So well done! Thanks for getting me back into jazz!!

The hollow bodies just don't have enough flexibility to handle those styles. Thanks for the video. It was very affirming for me.

Great video Jens. The 175 definitely has some mojo to it but I understand why you rely on you Ibanez more. I was torn a couple years ago on whether to get a Jazz Box or go semi hollow. I went with an inexpensive HB-35Plus, swapped the pickups for a set of Seth Lover Seymour Duncan’s and put a set of Grovers in. Absolutely love the guitar and it is more comfortable for me than a bigger Jazz Box. Anyway, thank you for all you do and the GREAT videos this year. You are much appreciated my friend.

In the late 1980s I auditioned for a jazz / studio music program with a *Squire* Stratocaster. Every other kid in the waiting room had a jazz box. I was accepted but chose to attend engineering school instead. I never stopped playing but I often wonder how my life might have unfolded had I taken that other path. At the time my friends were rockers and several of them make a good living today as musicians. I had read an article in Guitar Player about Will Lee being a sessions player in New York and thought that sounded cool. I'm happy you went down the other road Jens!

I've been loving catching up on your videos and the wisdom you bring to your audience! There's tons of opinions out there that disagree but there's others who appreciate jazz and relate with how your journey has unfold. I've went through a dozen guitars the last 40 years from my first Ibanez Les Paul Custom to a Taylor 814ce and everything in between. My conclusion was find the guitar that plays the way you want to play even if it doesn't sound perfect but then find the right pickups and make it your own. Spending thousands of dollars on a popular brand doesn't always work best for the player. I sold most of the expensive guitars and I'm hunting for a semi-hollow for my next guitar. The sound from your Sheraton with the bare knuckle pickups sounds sweet! Anyway, keep posting when you get some time and looking forward to the next video, with or without the explosions! 👍

About pick attack: After years of upgrading guitars by swapping pickups, I bought a PRS SE Custom 22 (solidbody, maple neck) right after that model got discontinued. The stock neck pickup was everything I thought I didn't want: It wasn't "articulate," it was pillowy and diffuse. Then I took it to a jazz rehearsal, and - wow! Its soft attack blends beautifully with other instruments. This has changed my whole ear. Guitar has always been an outlier in jazz, as a pizzicato party-crasher in a genre defined by legato wind instruments. The more we can soften our attack, the more welcome we sound. This is why jazz guitar's '70s fusion generation jumped on chorus FX and choruslike dual delays - they soften attack. Someone once wrote that a 175 has been "the sound of recorded jazz guitar for decades." I think of its "thunk" as "bark," plus some chirp from all the maple. It's a beautiful sound in its own right. But as someone who grew up with rock music and solidbodies, I'm with Jens: I want more sustain.

I studied jazz guitar at Humber College in Canada and during auditions there were two students sitting in the hallway wood- shedding before their audition. One turns to the other and says do you know your harmonic minors ? And the other student goes yeah and begins to play a bunch of open harmonics on his strings and then the other student says no man. I think it’s a scale. Happy new year!🇨🇦

Really nicely explained and illustrated. I've never come across the term "thunk" before - but it's a really good onomatopoeic description of a classic sound. Ironically, while it wasn't what you needed from your vintage Gibson, it's exactly what I'm hearing in my mind's ear, but not achieving, for one of my numbers I'm rehearsing with a new band. You've put your finger precisely on why simply turning down the tone on any of my guitars isn't creating the "thunk" I want to hear!

I bought and played an 1958 ES175 in the late 80's for my studies in music. From what I remember it sounded and played great but it has been too long now to know if that was really the case, after spending the following 30 years of playing on dozens of other guitars and progressing as a guitarist. In 2012 I bought a brand new ES175 and I totally struggled with it. No sustain and that dead feeling (or thunk) when I played it. Sold it with frustrated disapointment. In 2013 I bought a brand new Ibanez PM200 and was blown away the second I played it. Easy action, great sustain and the pick-up (designed by PM and the Ibanez team) sounds like a dream, with no feedback live. The workmanship on this guitar is flawless. Top quality...and I am still loving it to this day.

My audition was with a 1972 Gibson SG. Later I did get a 335 (1980 model) and loved playing it but always wanted to get a 175, which later I could finally afford. However I felt the same thing, that I could not get a modern singing tone out of the 175, though it was a 1970 double hum bucker and played beautifully, and after I put flatwound strings on it, it was even more dead. So I use the 335 the most for my jazz playing, but do get out the 175 now and then. I typically use 11s, using the neck pickup with anywhere from 1 to 4 on the tone pot. Add to that a bit of reverb and delay and it is a very nice experience for my ears. I use a 60 watt Fender Supersonic tube amp, which is typically way more power than I need for jazz gigs, but gives me the overhead I need for the clean articulate sound I want. I used to have a Twin, but that amp is for a younger, stronger man, so eventually I had to sell it.

Hey Jens. Sorry I’m just now seeing this video from you. What a great topic. I’ve always wanted to hear more about that mysterious 175 on your wall and to know your thoughts about it! As an everyday player/performer of a 1953 or maybe 1954 ES-175 that looks EXACTLY like yours (my serial number has been blotted out with a smear of black ink or tar that looks as vintage as the guitar itself), I can really relate to what you are talking about here! I agree with you about so many things. Particularly how comfortable and playable the neck is. That in itself makes this a hard guitar to ever abandon. Playability is huge, and I’ve never found a guitar that feels better in my hands. This is the only guitar I’ve ever owned that allows me to sometimes get into that headspace where I forget there’s a physical instrument between me and my musical thoughts. This has everything to do with the size of the body, the scale of the neck, the action of the strings-all it it. Only the 175 has that magic for me so far. While I generally agree with you about the idiosyncrasies of the single coil P-90, it doesn’t bother me. I knew those issues going in. Funny that you wound up trying to make your 175 sound more like a solid body by adding effects. I spent years trying to make my solid bodies sound more like a hollow body using different amps and effects! Then one day I had a simple epiphany: if you want your sound to be like joe pass or Jim hall’s, the plainly obvious way to do that is just to go to the vintage guitar store and buy the very same instrument they used! It was easy (although not necessarily on my wallet). Your observation about pickups is spot-on. Maybe you SHOULD put in a humbucker! As long as you can find one that fits into the body without any new hole-cutting, what’s to lose? I say this because I replaced mine and have no regrets. It’s an interesting story. At the risk of boring you with too much detail I’ll say that I also wound up owning an early 1950’s ES-140, the smaller scale version of the 175. It is kind of a travel guitar maybe. A novelty guitar really. Smaller scale. Not too playable, but cool. And it also has a single P-90. But THIS P-90 sounded so much hotter and fuller than the one in my 175. I asked my go-to luthier if he knew why. And he told me the Gibson factory in Kalamazoo in the early 50’s could often be inconsistent. The pickups were actually wound by hand, and how tightly they were wound, with how many coils of wire, could vary. How much the worker making pickups on any given day was looking forward to their lunch break could make a real difference in sound from pickup to pickup. Long story short, the pickup from my 1950’s Gibson ES 140 wound up fitting into my 175 with no alterations required, and it now sounds MUCH better! It still suffers from the lack of sustain that bothers you in yours, and the midrange-y attack thing, but it sounds so much fuller now and the increased gain gave me just the amount of sustain I needed for my more traditional style. So I’m a fan of pickup modifications when you love the playability and overall character of a guitar, even in a special vintage instrument like this. I feel like my guitar, if it could talk, would tell me “James, I’d rather be played every day than be a perfect museum piece.” Oh, and the only comment I have to add that you didn’t already touch on is just this: the simplicity of a single pickup guitar is a joy! I realized a creative clarity in my playing almost as soon as I picked up this guitar because suddenly I didn’t need to fool around with mixing two volume levels and the tone knobs of two different pickups. It was the elimination of what had been a big distraction with my first student jazz hollow body (4 knobs and a pickup selector are a lot of controls to deal with when you are just learning your scales and arpeggios). “Graduating” to a single pickup guitar invited me to control my tone with my own hands on the strings in a way that I believe made me more connected to what I was playing. Thanks for telling us the story of your beautiful ES-175. Happy New Years!

If you want more sustain on your ES175, just replace the rosewood bridge to a regular ABR-1 🤝… Naylon saddles will let it sound still warm and woodie. Of course your setup need to be perfect too👍 Herb Ellis & a lot of other Jazz guitarist did the same. By the way, the tailpice of your ES175 has been changed to a ES125 style ;-) … that and the bright fretboard color were definitely what the previous owner recognized it by 🤝 Beautiful guitar! Keep it and enjoy it 👍

A suggestion for the students out there: since guitars are so freaking expensive nowadays, a good compressor pedal evens out attack and bumps up sustain, and in general just makes guitars sound "better," clean or dirty, chords or notes. For my money, the best budget clean tone hack is a compressor, get you one and sound 12.45% more pro instantly ;). I can highly recommend the Keeley Compressor plus pedal and FMR RNC (it's a studio unit, but small enough to gig with). Both are available under $200, the Keeley can be found for ~$100 used all day, and it can take batteries. Both are very transparent, yet the dynamic shaping is powerful. I personally sold my much more valuable EH Blackfinger, gig with the Keeley, and just leave it on all the time. I don't know how prevalent outboard compressors are amongst jazzers, but it's an incredibly important effect that isn't all that widely understood by non-sound-guy types. Obviously if you can get the perfect guitar for your taste, that's the way to go, but even still, that guitar will be compressed at some point in any commercial recording. It behooves any musician to learn what compression does and how to use it, barring that, there's also the method of twiddling the knobs until it sounds good.

I have an ES 175 D from 1996, which plays like a dream - a beautiful thick and warm tone that I couldn't get from my tele. I also have an ES 137, which is a great sounding semi-hollow with no feedback issues. I think in the end you need to play what works for you. 90+% of the audience can't actually tell the difference! Obviously you can tell the difference in tone in the studio.

I own an Epiphone Es175 Premium and when I bought it used in 2018, I installed 11-50 flat strings (ECG24). I had an Emperor II for a very long time mounted in 12-52 and when I got this 175 mounted with a set of round strings I searched on the official Epiphone website what was originally mounted on it and it was indeed 11 round strings. I found that the 11-50 strings had more sustain than the 12-52s. More comfort, more sustain, I've been playing with these strings for 5 years now and I'm really happy with them.

One significant aspect you didn't address is the guitar's bridge. The wooden saddle is a major factor in the "thunk". Replace it with a TOM style metal unit atop the wooden bridge base and the attack and sustain will be radically altered. I did this years ago on my '80s Ibanez AF200 after encountering the same problem playing more modern jazz. Problem fixed. You can always stick the old wooden saddle back on - easily reversible modification. The trick is finding one with the right string spacing - ideally one where the saddles aren't pre-slotted. Anyway, you've presented a nice discussion here of tonal expectations/preconceptions relating to jazz guitars. Cheers.

Very recognisable. I keep going back and forth between a hollow body with flat wounds, a semi-hollow with round wounds and a strat with round wounds. You could make them sounds more similar (round wounds or half rounds on the hollow, flats on the semi). But i guess it makes more sense to have every guitar do its own thing. If I could only have one (and that would make live easier and make you focus just on the music) I might be looking more for a compromise. I guess I would then still stick with the round wound 11's on the semi and play around with the tone. That in itself covers a lot of ground. Or a good strat.

I have a Yamaha silent guitar fitted with a Kent Armstrong jazz pickup that actually sounds amazing. This guitar is essentially a stick! So a lot is in the pick up.

@@JensLarsen what I meant by organic depth is the complexity of sound one gets from a vibrating wooden sound box as opposed to the sound of just vibrating strings. one could argue that the pickup nullifies the effect of the soundbox but I believe it is a subtle form of feedback to the vibrating string which is then transfered to the pickup.

I'm a hollow body guy. Likely based on a distorted point of view. I look at violins, cellos, bass and they are beautiful instruments because of how they resonate. Before hearing the first sound. One can be amazed at the workmanship. Hearing it played only adds to the beauty of the instrument that is revealing its very unique and special tone. One that cannot be duplicated with the next instrument on the table to be constructed. That is how I view a hollow body guitar. It is unique and special and has its own voice. That craftsmanship is to be honored. To me the Benedetto Bravo Elite is the Stradivarius of guitars.

What are your opinions about the more expensive Gibson solid-tops like the L5 etc. which Wes Montgomery played? There's a big difference in the sound, but also in the price which is why a lot of people own the ES175. Gibson no longer makes them and they're now extremely expensive collector's items. I later discovered Ed Bickert, who proved you can play fantastic jazz on a Fender Telecaster, which I also own.

4:24 Man, that's a beautiful Gibson, I way prefer it over the Ibanez, there's this kind of organic magic in this ES175's tone. And especially with the P90: dynamic range is always nice to have, P90 also gives some more 'air' when needed. And there's always the option to use a gentle studio grade compressor. I could imagine this ES175 works especially well combined with an amp with a 15' speaker like Norlin LabSeries L9 (which has a built-in compressor - my best 'jazz amp') or a Fender Vibrosonic Reverb, to give it some more PAF-like body.

Back in the 70's I bought a '59 ES-225T for about $100, which is basically a student model thinline version of your guitar with a P90 in the middle position. It had a bent tuning peg and the frets were worn so I eventually replaced the tuners and had it re-fretted but I'd never change the pickup - it's the sound that's been with me most of my life and if I want a different sound I'll pick up another guitar. In other words, I relate and agree with your decision to keep the P90. My 2 cents on the problem with the ES175. Even before you mentioned pedals my first thought was that if you want more sustain you could use something like a Boss CS-3 Compressor-Sustainer, esp if you're also looking for the more compressed sound of a humbucker. There are plenty of other compressors that might get you where you need to go. It's too pricy for me so I haven't bothered to try it but I was impressed by the yt demos of the new PRS Mary Cries compressor when used as a compressor + boost. It doesn't seem to have a bad sound at any compression setting and using it with a slight boost might give you the sustain you're looking for without coloring the sound like an overdrive pedal or creating instant feedback.

I ONLY play my vintage Gibson. Thanks for this video (and all the ones I get thanks to my Patreon subscription.) After owning a Strat I inherited a 1969 ES-330TD with the P-90's. A teacher I had many years ago told me to get a Polytone Minibrute amp for it and that combination creates what I think is the definitive "jazz guitar sound." Due to a physical limitation (several broken arms doing dumb kid stuff when I was younger) I have some limited motion in my fretting hand/arm and anything thicker than a thinline causes discomfort for extended playing. I guess I am fortunate that the sound I get is the one I like because I'm out of luck if I want to sound different.
