es 137 classic

[renin74]

have been gassing for one, especially in vintage sunburst. Anyone have pics? What do people who have one think of it? Is it a laminate like the es 335? thanks,...

The 137 is laminated like the 335...I love the guitar and was looking to pick one up when I found my 135. The sound from the 137, to me, is like a bigger, ballsier LP. It's also, to me, easier to play sitting down. There are some vids on youtube of the 137 being played...Good luck.

I agree. I love mine and really enjoy playing a big hollow body while sitting down.

Yes it's a Maple laminate top, and very much like a 335.

I have one.. The tone is similar to a 175 or a 335.. The finish and inlays are spectacular... The headstock is no-frills... Action is outstanding I gig with it regularly playing jazz...

 

I put 57 classics in it using the splice method... It was a very slight improvement... The 490r/498t is not that much different from 57 classics...

This guitar just gets better and better!

I have an 2002 ES-35 and have had no issue with the finish or anything else for that matter. It's a great sounding guitar.

I have a 135 & a 137 Custom --- they kick major ***. Love em. They can do ANYTHING.
