Outstanding example of a traditional jazz ax. Most beautiful flame and color of any Gibson I've owned (and there have been dozens). Really couldn't be much more pleased. Everything was right... Set up and action are spot on. Pots are quiet and smooth, neck is just the right shape, tuners are solid, binding is clean, lacquer without checking or cracking. As the first year issue of this model with a highly sought after blonde finish, I feel like I really scored a prize here. This is a keeper. Update to this review... Just used the "Herb" at rehearsal for the first time last night. All the boys-in-the-band loved it! The sound, the beautiful wood - all of it. Very pleased with this classic archtop.

Medium/chunky neck, fat tone, old school appointments, great craftsmanship, nice feedback resistance. Everything you could want in a traditional jazz guitar. Highly recommended! It's basically a Gibson ES-175 with one pickup.

Lovely guitar, with excellent tone and playability. I wish there were an independent tone control, but not really a problem. Since it costs so much less than the ES 175, the Herb Ellis model turns out to be an decent value in a high-end jazz guitar.
