FS/FT: Gibson ES-135 transition model - RARE!
OK , next guitar to go is a very nice Gibson ES-135 in a matte vintage sunburst. As you can see from the pictures, the guitar is in immaculate condition. The guitar is a very rare late model (before they started manufacturing of the current ES-137) and as you can see it lacks f-holes (great for eliminating feedback) and pick guard. It comes with two Gibson -57 and a Seymore Duncan of sorts currently in the bridge position.
The guitar sounds great and covers anything from ES175 jazz tones, to blues, R&B, pop and rock. The SD has a great bite and it's really great with any high gain amp. It's fantastic live as it gives you a semi-hollow body tones but with no feedback (well.....it depends on how loud you are I guess!). This guitar was on Guitarist list of "50 guitars you need to play before you die"....completely understandable! I think it suits a player that does a bit of jazz, blues and rock and wants a proper Gibson tones but for less money than e.g. an ES 335.
Its currently set-up for 11's and has a nice action. Plays great!
Price: £899 ONO
Might be interested in PX: Gibson SG, PRS Mira or Super Strat (HSS) of sorts or high end small 1x12 valve combo e.g. Cornford Hurricane, Fender Deluxe Reverb, Mesa Express etc
Comes with a hard case a two sets of slinkys.
Please contact mew for more info and pics.

no problems Mr Mike... let me know if you want to come around and give it a play before it disappears. just to build up that GAS....Originally Posted by stickyfiddle
As far as a super strat goes, fancy a 1985 Fender E-Series (Fuji-Gen plant) Stratocaster with an original floyd rose and a Seymour Duncan lil' 59 (with coil tap)? It's a bit bashed and battered by its previous owner, but I can get some pics for you if you'd consider it? I'm desperate for a 135!
A bump for the weekend surfer
Interested in a PX with a 2004 'brand new' Gibson SG standard. Only been out of the case about 3 times. Walnut finish, totaly unblemished as is the original Hiscox case. If your interested, I would like to know a bit more about your 135.
