Jazz legend Herb Ellis took a hefty slice of Charlie Christian-style bebop and sprinkled on some blues to create his own classic jazz guitar style in the 1950s.
Available Colors:
Wine Red
, Vintage Sunburst
, Light Burst
Through his years with the Oscar Peterson Trio and as a soloist, his guitar of choice has been a single-pickup ES-175, but now Gibson has dressed up Herb's signature model with split-parallelogram inlays,
a pair of '57 Classic humbucking pickups and special f-hole baffles.
