🎷 Gibson ES-135 (2003) – Gloss Blue-Burst Rare finish. Timeless tone. A player’s dream.

This pre-owned Gibson ES-135 from 2003 is a true standout—dressed in a rarely seen Gloss Blue-Burst that turns heads before you even strike a chord. But it’s not just about looks. Loaded with a pair of Gibson '57 Classic PAF-style humbuckers, this semi-hollow beauty delivers everything from warm jazz cleans to biting blues and rock growl.

Crafted with a maple/poplar body and a comfortable ’50s rounded maple neck, it offers a full tonal palette and a feel that’s vintage without the bulk. Despite its age, it’s in excellent playing condition, freshly set up with 11-gauge strings and frets that still have plenty of life. There’s minor buckle rash on the back—just enough to hint at its journey.

🎸 Highlights:

• Rare Gloss Blue-Burst finish

• Dual '57 Classic humbuckers for rich, dynamic tone

• Original Gibson hard case included (note: one lock broken)

• Available now at our Merchant City branch – £1,999 with free UK mainland shipping
