  This 2001 Gibson ES-135 model was built right here in our hometown of Memphis, TN. It is a rare example with great provenance, and a cool Blue Burst finish. Originally owned by a former Gibson manager, this guitar was part of a small and unusual production run. Gibson temporarily ran out of Chromite (their name for balsa wood normally used for ES-135 center blocks), and to keep production moving, they built only 27 guitars with a solid maple center block. This is one of those rare pieces, offering a slightly different tonal response - tighter, more focused, and with a bit more punch compared to the traditional Chromite block. Think BIG ES-335 tone.

Description

Details

  This ES-135 is in very good condition, showing light overall cosmetic wear from normal use. There are minor surface marks, a few small dings, and a couple of marks on the back of the headstock. The frets show very little wear and are in near-perfect condition, playing cleanly up and down the neck. The pickguard was never installed, and is included in the case should you wish to add it. Includes the Gibson hardshell case.
  A rare variation of a classic semi-hollow model, with a cool backstory, an eye-catching finish, and excellent playability - hard to beat for an ES-135.
