All the power of a Les Paul plus the classic warmth of a semi-hollow body guitar equal the Gibson Custom ES-137. This model combines multiple beloved Gibson features into one instrument, including '57 Classic humbucking pickups, a Tune-O-Matic bridge, stop bar tailpiece, and Florentine cutaway. This guitar has seen a few years of use and has some checking on the headstock, but it was built to last by the experts at Gibson Custom and will be a guitar you'll love for years to come.
Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech. In Good condition with moderate wear for an instrument of this age, including light scratches and other signs of normal handling and use. The majority of the wear is on the headstock, where there is substantial checking on the edges and around the overlay as shown in photos. See below for more details and specifications.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
