DESCRIPTION:
Whether due to financial shortcomings, boredom, space constraints or restlessness, every guitarist has a tale of the "one that got away," an instrument that we should have held onto, but, somehow, didn't.

In the case of Bill Frisell, the one that got away was a custom 1968 Gibson ES-175. In his 20s, while the young musician was still discovering his singular voice, the Gibson was his main guitar and constant companion. And then, in a move he'd regret for decades, he sold it in 1978.

As Frisell's career took off, he often wondered about where the ES-175 went. Then, magically, he was able to track down the guitar in 2014.

In this exclusive video, Bill talks about this special instrument and the impact it had on his playing.
