Our Report

Every guitar comes with a high quality setup and is cleaned to ensure it looks and plays the best it possibly can when it gets to you.

This guitar is in a good condition for its age. There are some light scratches all round and some tarnishing to the hardware. It comes with its original hard case which is in great condition apart from tarnishing to the latches. No parts had been replaced and it comes with original COA, gold warranty card and custom shop tag.

This is a great opportunity to own a Custom Shop ES137 from the, now closed, Memphis factory which is considered by many to be the home of the best modern semi-acoustic Gibsons. This is also a great way to get a Custom Shop instrument for much less than a new Murphy Lab, M2M or production Custom Shop models out today.

*Please thoroughly check photos before making a purchase, we aim to highlight any flaws in our photos, as all our guitars are played instruments, you should expect guitars to have some light surface scratches that are difficult to photo and see in most lights due to the cleaners and polishes we use.*
