Gibson Steve Howe ES-175

The Guitarchive - Modeled after the 1964 Gibson ES-175, Steve's favorite guitar, this 2008 Steve Howe ES-175 celebrates the achievements of a man who helped elevate rock guitar into an artform. As a member of the English prog rock band Yes, Steve's tasteful, eclectic riffs helped define a new style of music. Modeled after his personal guitar, this updated ES-175 has a Mahogany neck and a Maple body, making for easy playing and gorgeous tones.
