Beautiful 2004 Tri-Burst Gibson ES-137 Classic – Very Good Condition!
Another stunning “noughties” Gibson has landed in-store, and this one is a real treat: a gorgeous 2004 Gibson ES-137 Classic in Tri-Burst.
The ES-137 Classic is a unique model in Gibson’s lineup, produced at the now-legendary (and sadly no longer operational) Gibson Memphis factory, renowned for its craftsmanship on semi-hollow and hollow-body instruments. This model combines elements of Gibson’s heritage with modern refinements: a semi-hollow body inspired by the ES-175, paired with a solid maple centerblock similar to the ES-135, delivering reduced feedback and increased sustain. Appointments include a mahogany neck with a rosewood fingerboard, classic trapezoid inlays, two humbucking pickups for versatile tonal range, and elegant binding that sets off the Tri-Burst finish beautifully.
Our 2004 example is in very good condition and has clearly been well cared for by its previous owner. It has also received the full attention of our on-site workshop team, ensuring it plays and sounds exactly as a Gibson of this calibre should.
Condition notes:
- Light lacquer shrinkage/checking on the bottom edge and around the back of the headstock – natural signs of age.
- Minor fret wear in the first position (“cowboy chord” area).
- Small amount of lacquer burn near the nut (likely from reacting with a wall hanger).
- Overall play wear is minimal, with nothing to affect playability or tone.
Don’t let these honest signs of age fool you – this ES-137 is a fantastic sounding and playing guitar with that unmistakable Gibson semi-hollow warmth, combined with the stability and punch of a centerblock design.
As with all new arrivals, this guitar has been fully inspected, set up, and approved by our trusted workshop team.
This 2004 Tri-Burst Gibson ES-137 Classic comes complete with its original Gibson-branded TKL hard case.
