Gibson ES-135 in Memphis Vintage Sunburst, USED
The Gibson ES-135 in Memphis Vintage Sunburst is a semi-hollow body electric guitar that strikes a balance between classic design and modern functionality. Its elegant maple top, finished in a rich Memphis Vintage Sunburst, highlights the guitar’s timeless aesthetic, with the sunburst pattern transitioning from a dark edge to warm amber tones at the centre. The guitar's semi-hollow body construction makes it ideal for players seeking warm, resonant tones with a vintage flair, perfect for jazz, blues, and classic rock.
Built with laminated maple for the body and a mahogany centre block, the ES-135 offers enhanced sustain and reduced feedback compared to fully hollow models. This construction gives the guitar versatility, allowing it to produce the warm, woody resonance that semi-hollow guitars are known for while still performing well at higher volumes. The dual f-holes further contribute to its natural acoustic projection, blending aesthetic beauty with functional sound enhancement.
The ES-135 is equipped with two Gibson humbucker pickups. These pickups offer a rich and warm sound, making them ideal for clean, jazzy chords as well as smooth, overdriven rock tones. The combination of the semi-hollow body and humbucker pickups allow for a wide tonal range, from bright and clear highs to full-bodied mids, ensuring versatility across various genres.
With a comfortable rounded "C" mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard, the guitar offers a smooth and familiar playing experience. The 22 medium jumbo frets and 24.75-inch scale length make bending notes and playing leads effortless. The Tune-O-Matic bridge and trapeze tailpiece provide reliable tuning stability and sustain, completing the guitar’s mix of vintage appeal and modern reliability. The Gibson ES-135 in Memphis Vintage Sunburst is a versatile instrument that combines classic looks with a rich, warm sound, ideal for players who appreciate both style and substance.
