Gibson modernized the single-cutaway thinbody guitar in the 1990s with the addition of a solid centerblock, and the ES-137 Custom enhances the model with elegant new features, including an Ebony fingerboard, split-diamond inlays, '57 Classic humbucking pickups, 6-position Vari-tone and multi-ply top binding.
Gibson ES137 Custom Electric Guitar (with Case) Reviews
Gibson ES137 Custom Electric Guitar (with Case) Sample Review
Feature: beautifully appointed. All bound body, neck and headstock with glorious curly maple body.
Sound: Pickups are wonderful and the varitone control gives a wonderful pallete of sounds from raunchy humbucker to rockabilly to jazz and blues to bell tone single coil.
Ease of Use: Excellent playability
Support: Yes and Yes. Gibson are committed to ensuring that if you have a problem they will help you to solve it, even down here in Australia.
Overall: I am satisfied with it but of my guitars my Line 6 Variax is great for its wonderful versatility of sounds and guitar emulations and my Maton Mastersound 500 because of its beautiful warm sounds, great playability and marvelous sustain without the need for pedals or processors.
