PRESS RELEASE

Gibson Steve Howe Signature ES-175

As a member of the English band Yes, Steve’s eclectic guitar parts helped define a new style of music known as art rock. In later solo albums, he emerged as an accomplished jazz player. His guitar collection has been the subject of a book, and his instruments have been exhibited in museums. Through it all, his favorite instrument has always been his 1965 Gibson ES-175, and his signature guitar is modeled after his personal guitar.
