Are there any current generation big name players who use ES 175? Current big names seem to play either custom luthier build big hollows or just solids or semis.

Ronny Jordan played a Norlin 175. I even think it's an early 80s mahogany one, exactly like mine. I always had a soft spot for him. Lots of soul in his playing ...
All his early albums were recorded with his 175.

No on Pete B. I still prefer his sound AND his playing on his Zeilder--that sound is... yeooooowzas!
I'm trying to gather everything he did in Larry Golding's organ trio. Man! Larry Goldings--I know this forum is about guitar--but holey schmoleys! Larry Goldings could make ANYONE sound good. Larry Goldings could make ME sound good!

Everything by my favourite jazz guitarist of all time:
-
"In the 1950's Roberts acquired a Gibson ES-175 with a single neck pickup. This was his main guitar throughout the '50's. He had a second ES-175 with a square hole cut into the guitars back. No one knows why he did this to the instrument."

But all of that said, Joe Pass got a tone with a 175 on those WPJ albums (think "For Django") that is second to none.
A good Gibson ES-175 is all the jazz guitar a jazz guitarist needs.

Stringswinger,
Joe Pass does sound incredible on "For Django." It is different, but beautiful, in comparison with his 70s tone on Concord Jazz and Pablo records.
I like both sounds.
