« Excellent Gibson ES »
Published on 05/11/13 at 14:43Manufactured in 2006. Model 137 are classic.
Channel end app. Very pleasant.
Half body, thin line in one cutaway. Different from 335 are for sounds.
Mecha Grover, 3 position switch, 2 humbuckers 490 R and 498 T (originally), multi-ply pickguard, inlays Perloid with the letter "c" at the twelfth fret.
Guitar successor to the ES 125.
UTILIZATION
Heavy guitar (more than my GB10) because it is a semi hollow
Handle very fast and easy to play
Access to acute is average
The pickups have been changed by its owner, he asked Gibson classic 57, therefore it has the sound I expect, and fits me perfectly in a jazz and blues record.
SOUNDS
Mellow jazz sounds obviously lowering the tone, and neck position in a tube amp (Vox AC 15 great couple), it is mounted flat wound chrome (spun flat) but versatile and quite interesting rhythmic pop, rock etc ...
OVERALL OPINION
Tremendous opportunity for an interesting mega price a few months ago.
I dreamed of this guitar for several years, since I tried a friend's jazz.
Mine has a sort burst a little special, less dark around the edges, more dark red brown. The table is beautiful with wavy patterns.
The only drawback is its weight, which in this case is consistent with the manufacturing quality and durability. No cosmetic defects, binding the beautiful sleeve that covers the frets (fret not too low or too high).
High quality for this very successful Gibson.
My luthier has set properly, cleaned the pickguard, given the micro bridge in place ...
The state was mint.
A purchase as a result after 10 years of guitar (jazz mainly) long coveted, no regrets, especially at this price!
I keep the rest of my life. (Especially since we do not often find)
