From February 1957 Gibson ES 157  came equipped with humbuckers. New jazz guitaris such as Pat Metheny used these to emulate the sound of Joe Pass and Wes Montgomery's heart L5. Gibson ES 175 with humbuckers is prized for its full, rich tone. Some guitarists will try to mimic the rich resonant sound of this rather large hollow body instrument by turning the tone knob all the way down on smaller, or solid body, guitars.
