  • This Is Where It Is At

    As reviewed by Improvise411 on 8/6/2007

    137 is the best of all worlds. The incredible sustain that comes from the guitar alone takes the place of any sustain pedals that were once part of my board. I find that playing with it plugged straight into my amp gives me some of the fattest tone that I have ever experienced. I bought the guitar because I had been wanting something that could produce a good jazz tone, but still well in a fusion/funk setting. The ES-137 took the cake.

  • Love my ES-137

    As reviewed by GibsonLover on 1/10/2007

    Just picked up an ES-137 at my local guitar center and I love it. I grew up playing an Gibson L-4 archtop acoustic and have for years been playing a Les Paul. The ES-137 gives me a great blend of hollow body mellowness and Les Paul boldness. Sounds great for rock, country or more folk rock sounds. A lot lighter in weight than my Les Paul and my aging back really appreciates it. Blue burst looks great! I put .009 gauge strings on it to make it play a little easier (I love to bend a lot) - had to raise bass side of bridge just slightly. The ES-137 has made me fall in love with playing my guitar again!

  • Looks great, sounds great

    As reviewed by shredtildead on 12/12/2009

    I waited until after I had owned this guitar for a couple of months before I reviewed it. I got the Blues Burst finish and chrome hardware. The color is gorgeous. When they unpacked it at my local GC it drew a crowd. Physically it's about the same size as my Taylor Grand Auditorium only a bit thinner and weighs in at 8.5 lbs so about a pound less than my Les Pauls. I can get a wide variety of tones from it by changing the settings of the tone and volume pots and switching between the treble and rhythm pickups. It will go from ultra clean to a mellow jazz tone, and with my amp gain turned up to produce some distortion the pickups produce some nice bite. I don't think I'll be parting with this guitar anytime soon.
