Gibson ES-135 - USA 2002

Here is a 2002 Gibson ES-135 in Wine Red, a versatile semi-hollow electric designed to sit comfortably between the warmth of a full hollowbody and the focus of a solidbody guitar. The ES-135 offers a balanced platform with open resonance, strong note definition, and a responsive feel that suits a wide range of playing styles.

This example delivers a clear and articulate voice with a warm, rounded low end and smooth highs, making it particularly well suited to clean tones and lightly driven sounds. The semi-hollow construction provides a lively acoustic response, while still maintaining enough control and sustain to handle more dynamic playing when pushed through an amp.

The neck feels comfortable and easy in the hand, allowing for relaxed chord work and fluid lead playing across the fingerboard. Its tonal character and responsiveness make it a natural choice for jazz, blues, and roots styles, where clarity and expression are key.

Condition is excellent with only very minor signs of player wear on the back, and it presents as a clean, well-kept example overall. Comes supplied with a non-original hard shell case.
