Jazzy duo
I went out for dinner last night and there was a jazz duo playing standards on guitar and bass. The guitar player was playing a Gibson ES150 (P90) through a Fishman LB Artist. It had that nice flat tone we associate with jazz guitar. I never thought to play my ES175 through my Artist but I'll definately give it a shot. I normally play through a '65 Deluxe Reverb.

Not sure you'll get the same favorable results - the ES-150 was one of those rare purpose-built electrics that had genuinely useable acoustic tone, comparable in many cases to a period L-7 (savvy in-the-trenches postwar players often used them as true dual-purpose guitars), so from an archtop standpoint you're getting the equivalent of a modern mag-PU acoustic rather than a full-on electric like a humbucker-equipped post-1957 ES-175; of course, you're always welcome to try...
