Gibson ES-175 CC

1978-1980
Maple, Rosewood

This is officially the first model featuring a Charlie Christian pickup since the ES-150, on which the pickup made its original introduction in 1936. Although the ES-175CC was an instant success among jazz players looking for a vintage sound, only 479 units of the Kamalazoo crafted instrument were ever produced. Hear it jazz

Rodebald Hoyer

1962 - ?
Spruce, Rosewood

Feel free to marvel at this 1962 Rodebald Hoyer Guitar. That’s probably what the skilled German Archtop maker was expecting you to do. The Flame shaped F-holes carved in its solid spruce body are typical from the early sixties.
