The Steve Howe Signature ES-175 celebrates the achievements of the man who elevated rock guitar into an art form. As a member of the English band Yes, Steves tasteful, eclectic guitar parts helped define a new style of music known as art rock.

In later solo albums, he emerged as an accomplished jazz player. His guitar collection has been the subject of a book, and his instruments have been exhibited in museums.

Through it all, his favorite instrument has always been his 1964 Gibson ES-175, and his signature guitar is modeled after his personal guitar.
