Remember this if a modification is in Your mind! It won’t make things easier for those who come after!

I loved everything about the 275, but mine had the dreaded neck hump at the body. Had to say bye-bye.

So it’s been some years now and I love the design of smaller hollow body guitars or Archtops in general. After playing numerous versions of the 275 platform, I am not overly impressed.
I think this might work for solid body or even thin-line aficionados.
But the neck being flat to the body as opposed to say a 175 pitch above the body, is my preference.
Doesn’t work well for me.
I also think the neck shape is on the small/med side of Gibson profiles, which I don’t care for either.
I say this owning a Benedetto Bambino in comparison. But again everyone is different and you might end up loving them.

When I've thought about getting a 275, my wallet always points me towards a Seventy Seven Hawk instead. But the Montreux Burst 275s are undeniably gorgeous guitars.
