Gibson Es-137 Classic Tri-burst Minty........ Sold

Rich Hlaves · Post by **Rich Hlaves** » 9 Dec 2010 1:38 pm

I'm selling my 2006 Gibson ES-137 classic in Tri-Burst finish with chrome hardware. This guitar was purchased by me new in September of '06 and has seen very little use. I remember playing two gigs with it, a few songs each, that's all other than some in home practice. It is in near mint condition. Other than some pick marks on the pick guard you could not tell it from new.

I love the look of the Forentine cutaway. The double bound flamed maple body is nicely figured. This guitar is very versitile and with the solid block and stop tail piece is very good at stage volumes without feeding back. The only change other than a pro set up I have made to the instrument was to add straplocks. It is a purdy guitar that plays and sound great. Very 335 like and also has the bite of a Les Paul. Back off the tone controls a bit and you have a perfect jazz box.

Comes with the pictured original HSC with shroud, owners manual and truss rod wrench. Offered at $1,250 shipped in the con US. PayPal is OK and I 'll pay the fees if we come to reasonable terms. Happy New Year and thank for looking! Best, Rich

Sorry but I'm in need of funds at the moment so a trade would not be possible.

The pickup truck needs tires and shocks all around and I'm not pulling out the plastic!

Man, if I wasn't saving up for an Emmons right now, I'd lay it all down on this beauty!

Ok folks, last price reduction or I'll just keep her. Now $1,250 shipped in the lower 48.

I had her sold but the buyers funds dried up somehow.

Clyde, we spoke on the phone a couple of times. She's all yours for this price if you are still in the market for a Gibson.

OK folks, I need to make this guitar go away FAST!

If you have a "resonable" offer, please let me know.

Thanks,
Rich
