Key Features
The Gibson ES-137 Classic in Triburst is a premium semi-hollow electric guitar that combines the warmth and resonance of Gibson's ES range with the sustain and feedback resistance provided by a solid maple centre block. Manufactured in Gibson's Memphis facility, the ES-137 offers a distinctive alternative to the more common ES-335 while retaining unmistakable Gibson character.
Featuring a laminated maple body, mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard, the instrument delivers exceptional sustain, clarity and tonal versatility. The pair of Gibson '57 Classic humbuckers provide authentic vintage-inspired tones with warm lows, detailed midrange response and smooth high frequencies, making the guitar suitable for blues, jazz, rock and contemporary styles.
The elegant Triburst finish highlights the guitar's classic styling, while premium hardware and construction ensure dependable performance in both studio and live environments. As a discontinued model, the ES-137 has become increasingly sought after by players and collectors alike.
Combining semi-hollow resonance with solid-body-like sustain, the ES-137 remains one of Gibson Memphis' most underrated modern designs.
