Introducing the 2017 Gibson Memphis ES-275 Custom, designed with input from players who seek modern playability in a traditional hollowbody jazz guitar. Starting with the iconic L-5—the holy grail of archtops—Gibson has created a more compact body for added comfort during long gigs.

The neck is derived from a Les Paul, providing additional frets and enhanced access to higher notes. Additionally, the MHS pickups in the ES-275 Custom have quickly become a favorite among jazz players for their clarity, richness, and versatility across genres.

The striking visuals of this exceptional instrument are enhanced by mother-of-pearl full-block fingerboard inlays, a lustrous nitrocellulose finish, and gold hardware, including Gibson's historic Three-bar Archtop tailpiece. The ES-275 Custom is well on its way to becoming Gibson's next classic.
