I love archtops, and the ES 175 is one of my favs. I have always wanted one, or at least a replica since I can't afford one. Then I discovered they could be too wide for me, I find dreadnought acoustics unconfy too... so I bought smaller archtops. I have owned an Ibanez AG95 (I traded it for a telecaster) and an AG85 (which I still have, I got it used for a bargain and I plan installing 2 humbuckers to replace the mini hums). The 57 is my fav, it's all I expect on a jazz guitar: warm, sweet and... dreamy haha. Thanks a lot for sharing this :)
Was there only a room mic? I read it was captured with a samson q2U. I was under the impression on the 1960 the amplified sound was less apparent and i heard more the "acoustic" sound.
@@ThatRhythmMan I would love if you could do a deeper review of it… for if of us out there 😄🤝 Thank you for sharing all of these beautiful guitars with us 👍
I recently started listening to Johnathan Kriesberg, who uses one of these. Unreal sound. I don’t play jazz, but I really want one!

Hello, may I ask which set of Throbaks are on the 57? I think they sound the best. The MHS sets sound surprisingly nice on the 60!
The MHS are great pickups, seriously. The ‘57 has the standard SLE-101 Throbak set.
@@ThatRhythmManThank you, really appreciate that!

I honestly don’t remember. This was pretty impromptu and I’m not sure what the mic placement was. This may have just been a room mic.
Thank you for taking the time to answer! btw, i loved the video, it was a great showcase. I was wondering because of what i heard

Seems they get brighter with newer guitar pick ups. All have a great tone
Great 👍 dream guitars 🙏What happened to Herbs 175, is it for selling or in your private collection?
That one isn’t going anywhere!

That’s a great idea!
@@ThatRhythmMan please 👏👏👏😭😄😄👏👏 we all will love it
I like that 57 best
Same here, very sweet and warm :)
Bridge pick up was used while called neck pick up..🤷🏽♂️
Right you are! The bridge pickup section was accidentally labeled neck pickup. I’ll have to see what I can do, if anything, to fix that. Thanks.
