Gibson ES-137 Classic SH 2006 - Vintage Sunburst

Gibson ES-137 Classic in Vintage Sunburst from 2006
 
About the Gibson ES-137 Classic:
 
Produced by Gibson's Custom Shop Memphis factory as a limited production run from 2002 - 2013. It was a relatively new design in Gibson's ES line which was not based on a vintage instrument, as many of Gibson's instruments are.
 
The basic body shape of the ES-137 is very close to the ES-175. Despite the 137 being somewhat thinner than the ES-175, it is not classed as a thinline model. However, the ES-137 does have a mahogany center block inside the body. This design eliminates feedback problems common with hollow-bodied guitars. The center block also facilitates the use of a stop tailpiece alike the ES-335, therefore eliminating the use of a "trapeze"-style tailpiece found on most hollow-bodied Gibsons.
 
If you're looking for a vintage vibe with a modern twist, this could be guitar for you.
