Exc(-) condition. Sunburst. A few small nicks and chips in the finish here and there. Frets have been milled in not too distant past, so no appreciable fret wear. Back of peghead has a mysterious area right where serial numbers would be. The serial numbers have been obscured. Factory order numbers remain intact, inked into the inside of the guitar.
     Hollowbody electric with one P-90 pickup near neck. Maple back and sides with Sitka Spruce top. Mahogany neck with Rosewood fingerboard. Original Rosewood adjustable bridge. Original tailpiece and pickguard. Original Kluson DeLuxe closed-back 3-on-a-plate tuners with excellent condition cream buttons (not shrinking or cracking).
     This guitar is really quite nice and is ready to play. Everything is in good order and the pickup sounds very good.

     Exc(-) condition. Ebony black finish. As an interesting point, this guitar comes with papers officially from Gibson variously describing this guitar as an "ES-345" and an "ES-35", even though it absolutely is a stock ES-135. And, all these same papers (label, warranty card, inspection papers, etc), all have the correct serial number that matches the back of peghead and label, etc.
      No fret wear at all. This instrument is really in nice condition, but it does have one repair on back that is hard to spot. There was a slight clean crack in the outer ply of the back. Our local luthier, George Weisel, did a really great job of repairing it and blending the finish so that there is no sign of the repair at all, except a slight deflection of light when looking directly at it - we'll make sure to make one or two photos that show you what we mean. Many stores would omit this information about the repair, because it was done so well that it truly is a 'non-issue'.
     24 3/4" scale length. Semi-hollowbody, with block of wood running thru body. Two 'P-100' pickups (stacked double-coil humbucking). Trapeze tailpiece and tune-a-matic bridge. Kluson-style "Gibson DeLuxe" tuners with tulip buttons.
     This is a very nice example of a semi-hollowbody guitar. You can play this guitar acoustically and get great sound. It is very resonant. The set-up is great, with nice low action and everything works great.

     Exc.(++) Condition. There are only some very slight surface scratches that keep this guitar from being in new condition.
     Nice Maple top, back and sides with sunburst finish. Top has multiple white bindings, back and fretboard have single binding. Chrome hardware including "tune-o-matic" bridge. Independent volume and tone controls for each humbucker and 3-way.  Sunburst Mahogany neck with Rosewood radiused fingergboard and pearl "trapezoid" inlays. Grover tuners.
     This guitar is in really nice shape. Looks like it just came out of the factory, but has the sound of a mature instrument.

     Exc.(++) condition. There is one single ding on the top, aside from that the guitar is in mint condition.
     Stunning flamed Maple top with a deep blue finish. Choice Mahogany back, sides and neck. Top and neck are single bound. Rosewood finger board with Pearl trapezoid inlays. Nickel hardware, "Gibson Deluxe" tuners. Two Gibson "Burstpucker" humbuckers with independent tone and volume controls for each pickup. 3-way pickup selector.
     This guitar is beautiful. It's got a growl, and a look that catches the eye. This is a great one for anyone to own.

     VG Condition. One Owner! There is heavy player wear, and the pickguard is missing. There is one slight separation repaired in the top under where the pickguard would be. There is also some finish rubbed away in that area. The backplate is partially broken, and there are some scratches and paint chipped away on the back. The neck shows signs of wear on the back, but feels great. The guitar has recently had excellent professional fingerboard milling and fresh fret job and is setup to play great.
     Solid Mahogany body with Maple carved top. 7-ply binding on top and 5-ply on the back.  Original "Bigsby" tremolo. The original "T-top" Gibson pickups have been replaced because the owner wore through the original pickup covers. They have been replaced with "New Old Stock" Gibson 1994 PAF pickups new out of the box, but the original pickups will come in the case. The volume and tone knobs have been replaced, as well as the "tunomatic" tailpiece. Three way selector switch. Single-bound Mahogany neck. Radiused Ebony fretboard with large Pearl block inlays. 5-ply bound peghead wth original tuners.

    (VG) Condition. Weather checking on top and back, as well as a few dents and dings. The back of the neck has a couple of scratches and some dings. Recent refret. The pickups and pick guard have been upgraded, and there is an additional boost switch added that ups the output of the pickups.
     Nice tobacco sunburst. Solid Mahogany body with double cutaway. Three single coil pickup configuration, with 5-way selector switch, two tone knobs, master volume and a boost switch. Mahogany neck with Rosewood fingerboard and Pearl dot inlays. Ebony peghead veneer, Deluxe tuners with oval buttons.
     This is a really cool guitar. Plugged in it can do anything, the custom pickup configuration and boost switch make for a really wide tonal variety. It's got the renowned Gibson neck for easy playability, and great all around mojo.
