Gibson ES-137 Classic Blue Burst Electric Guitar with Hard Case (Our Ref. 415942) Gibson Custom ES-137 Classic Blue Burst Electric Guitar ***** When Gibson's carved-top guitar luthiers in Memphis began building the magnificent ES-137 Classic in 2002, it was an instant success that lived up to its name. The ES-137 is an instant 'Classic' because it combines the glories of two classic styles of Gibson cornerstone instruments. Players sang - and still sing - its praises, citing the ES-137 Classic's great feel and gorgeous appearance, as well as its astonishing sonic versatility, from the smooth, round, clean tones required for old-school jazz to the snarl and distortion of cutting edge rock. Features Body The ES-137 blends the looks and overall style of a single cutaway semi-hollowbody guitar and the sonic authority of a Gibson Les Paul Classic. It refines the basic design of earlier semi-hollowbody Gibsons by swapping the style's maple centerblock for solid mahogany to increase sustain and reduce feedback at even heavy metal volumes. With its single Florentine cutaway, the ES-137 Classic draws on the heritage of Gibson's earlier ES-135 and ES-175 models for historic inspiration, but sustain, sizzle making it an absolutely contemporary instrument. ***** Specifications Laminated Curly Maple body Mahogany Centre Block for read more
