    Lemmo is the only guy I know of who can go from screaming Van Halen on a solid body to freakin' Coltrane's Niema on a jazz box and follow it up with something he wrote for ditto to delight us all. He truly is an innovator, a genius composer and improvisor, a creative force in the guitar world. Norm sells guitars that are already sold. Thanks Norm, Jen, Michael best on the internet!

      You can always tell when a guitar inspires him. And that "really mellow sound" is the rosewood bridge.

    ES-175Ds are surprisingly versatile guitars. I had a sunburst ‘62 in the mid ‘70s; my main gig at that time was R&B, but I’d use the 175 for jazz (of course!), blues, country, even rock if I didn’t have to play too loud! Mine had a Tune-O-Matic bridge, which gave it a little more attack than a rosewood one would have. I miss that guitar!

    So, no tooth brush? :)
    Almost funny, Pat Matheney got his 175 as a single pup, modded it for a bridge pup and felt this changed the tone of the guitar enough, he tore all that out . Classic tracks recorded and played live with this....y'all knew that already ;)
    Over 5 years ago, Pat said the guitar was literally falling apart but didn't trust anyone to work on it.
    yep, lucky enough to see him, Travels, Berkely out door arena. Great !

    I’ll echo the remarks about reverb; love you Lemmo but please dial it back by half - particularly for a very special instrument such as this. My interest would be to hear the pure sound of this guitar. Perhaps it’s because I have an old late 70’s silverface Princeton of my own and it’s a non reverb.

      If memory serves Nugent plays a Byrdland. It is sort of an odd choice for someone who plays at such a high volume but I read an interview with him many years ago and he talked about how he controls the feedback by moving to different parts of the stage for different notes.
