dougg330 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Hey, all - I'm torn. I'm watching an Epiphone ES-135 on EBay and thinking of moving on it. Trouble is, I would have to get rid of something from my current lineup... and there's also a Riviera with mini humbuckers that I'm watching. I actually owned this Riviera once - sold it to make room for another guitar, which is also now gone - so I know something about the Riviera. But I've never seen, touched, or heard the 135 Does anyone out there own (or have some experience with) the Epi ES-135? What can you tell me about its tone, neck, etc.? Any info would be greatly appreciated. And quickly, too - have to get this done this weekend. Thanks - dougg330 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabar Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 There are several variations of the Gibson version ... some have stoptails, some have trapeze tailpieces, some have f-holes, some don't, and there were models with P-90's, P-100's and humbuckers. My experience is that they play pretty much like a similarly equipped 335, only with a single cutaway. The centerblock is made of lighter wood, so it's a bit lighter than the 335, but if you like one, you'll probably like the other. I haven't had a chance to play the Epiphone version.

timandbob Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Yesterday I played a Gibson ES-135 (cherry) at the music store. Sweet action. Very nice. Too pricey for me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
