D´Angelico 175 Deluxe vs D´Angelico EX SS?

[Andriz]

What do you think? What are their differences sound-wise and playability-wise?

I would like to play some jazz fingerstyle + some soloing, prefer clear, but warm/soft, pretty typical jazzy tone (like Pat Metheny, Joe Pass maybe something like that).

Guys who have tried both, give some opinions...

I will avoid the bigsby vibrato (175) If going jazz guitar, but that's me.

Me neither, and I have wondered the same. Seems to me it's just one more thing that can effect tuning and also potentially vibrate. Also, they touch the top (screw into it?) of the guitar don't they. That has to be bad for the acoustic sound.

yes I had one on an epiphone, played it one month and changed for another 335 copy without any vibrato, cause of the tuning, even when I did not use the vibrato, the tuning was bad ....
