The ES-135 differs a bit from the typical Gibson Electric Spanish. It essentially mixed features from the 335 and 175 to birth these affordable semi-hollows from the '90s-early 2000s. This particular example is from 2001 in a really neat blueburst finish. It's a players piece for sure but is a great option that'll stick out from your other semi-hollows.
Condition: "Good". The guitar has been well taken care of but definitely played. The strap buttons have been swapped for locking ones, we don't have the actual locking ends. Originally this had a trapeze tailpiece that has been swapped for a Bigsby. (Original is not included). For some reason 3 of the tuner bushings have been swapped or happened to discolor. The truss rod has room for adjustment but is a bit limited for those using heavier gauges. The guitar has plenty of scratches and surface polishing swirls. There is some finish discoloration notable on the Florentine cutaway.
