Pre-Owned Gibson ES-135 with Hard Shell Case

The ES-135: Classic Semi-Hollow Power with Vintage Charm

Vintage-Inspired Design with Classic Gibson Feel

Crafted in 1995, this Gibson ES-135 offers a familiar semi-hollowbody shape with its own unique twist, pairing traditional archtop resonance with a feedback-fighting center block for versatile performance across genres. The laminated maple body with a maple neck delivers that airy, articulate tone players love, while the “Cherry Red” finish seals the deal visually with timeless appeal.

P-100 Pickups for Clear, Hum-Free Performance

Equipped with stacked P-100 humbuckers in both the rhythm and treble positions, the ES-135 produces a balanced voice with punchy midrange and clarity on top. The P-100s retain the character of classic P-90s while eliminating the noise often associated with single coils. Paired with two volume and two tone controls and a 3-way switch, it’s built to deliver everything from bluesy warmth to cutting lead tones.

Comfortable Playability and Vintage-Style Hardware

Featuring a rosewood fretboard with 22 frets and dot inlays, the ES-135 plays smooth and comfortable all the way up the neck. The chrome hardware includes a Bigsby tremolo. With a scale length of 24.75 inches and a nut width of 1.6875 inches, this model keeps classic Gibson feel at your fingertips.

Honest Wear with a Story to Tell

This ES-135 has seen the stage, and shows it in all the right ways. Expect extensive playwear, finish cracks along the neck and body, dents in the fretboard at the 3rd, 4th, 9th, and 12th frets, clearcoat peeling on the headstock, and additional dents on the back of the body. It’s not a museum piece, but it’s a reliable player’s guitar with soul and character to match its tone.

A Semi-Hollow Workhorse with Extras

Whether you're looking for a vintage-inspired blues box or a solid performer for rock and roll, this ES-135 checks all the boxes. It ships with a hard shell case for dependable protection on the go or in storage.
