Classic Sound Meets Modern Style!

The Gibson Memphis ES-195 semi-hollowbody electric guitar gives you a combination of classic tone and modern style like no other instrument out there. Its thinline maple and basswood body provides you with a naturally resonant and vibrant semi-hollow tone, without being prone to feedback, making the ES-195 ideal for stage use. A set of balanced P-94 pickups deliver classic single-coil sound that goes from glassy clean to slightly rude, like what you'd expect from a rockabilly guitar. A Bigsby tailpiece completes the picture, making the Gibson Memphis ES-195 a fun and versatile guitar.

Gibson Memphis ES-195 Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar at a Glance:
  • A unique combination of classic Gibson style for a new generation of guitarists
  • The perfect pair of P-94 pickups give this guitar its timeless tone
  • All the right hardware for playing flexibility and tuning stability

A unique combination of classic Gibson style for a new generation of guitarists
The Gibson Memphis ES-195 was clearly designed for a new generation of serious guitarists. For instance, its thinline semi-hollow body style gives you the full-bodied tone and sustain you'd expect from a hollowbody jazz box, but without the constant feedback problems that plague deeper guitars. On top of that, there's the ES-195's straight six Firebird headstock and deep cutaway, both of which contribute to both its style and overall playability.

The perfect pair of P-94 pickups give this guitar its timeless tone
When it comes to tone, the ES-195 takes you right back to the heyday of Gibson semi-hollowbody electric guitars. A pair of P-94 single-coil pickups give you the same expressively dynamic P-90 sound that you'd expect from a traditional set of dog ears, but balanced to provide even volume between the neck and bridge pickups. Whats, more, the ES-195's bridge pickup is wound with reverse polarity, making them naturally hum canceling when both pickups are on.

All the right hardware for playing flexibility and tuning stability
To complete the picture, Gibson Memphis outfitted the ES-195 with a complete set of classy yet extremely functional hardware. First and foremost, there's the trapeze-style Bigsby vibrato, which is idea for pulling off long, slow and subtle bends. On top of that, there's a classic ABR-1 bridge and a set of Grover Mini tuners, assuring that your ES-195's tuning stays perfectly stable.

Gibson Memphis ES-195 Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar Features:
  • A fun and original semi-hollowbody electric guitar built for the live stage
  • Thin maple and basswood body provides semi-hollowbody resonance without the feedback
  • Balanced P-94 pickups deliver classic Gibson single-coil sound with even volume and mid-position hum cancelation
  • Bigsby tailpiece lets you perform slow and subtle bends
