"This should only be a jazz guitar".

Fuck off with that, people. You can use any guitar you want for anything.

this is a really cool guitar ! i always looked at it like it's a hollowbody les paul ! i always wanted one. i owned a les paul. and i played an ES 175 in a music store once for a good while and tried different effects with it. even though the pickups aren't as strong as other humbuckers. as a professional musician, it's about the pa system. on stage you can have a guitar set up with a ES 175 playing out of a small fender amp, and do some amazing things. what a cool guitar !!
