I have to buy one jazz guitar for a high school band that multiple kids will play, I've got a budget of about $2,000. I was told to see if I could pickup a Gibson es175 with the school discount I may be able to pull this off, what you think? It would have to be new, sorry Ebayers, and have to take a school purchase order. Give me a few suggustions, I know this quality a instrument sounds like overkill, but this is a national award winning Jazz band and also a one shot deal with the $$$$'s. So I want to give the kids the best I can before I go. Thanks in advance for the info. Only listeners, no players? Come on I need a little help.
