Gibson ES-135

The Gibson ES-135 is a semi-hollow electric guitar Gibson introduced in the 1990s, reviving a designation from the 1950s. It has a laminated body with a solid centre block, a pair of P-100 or humbucking pickups depending on the version, a trapeze or stop tailpiece and the usual control set, and it was offered with a variety of finish options. The instrument was designed to give players a semi-hollow guitar at a moderate price, with a warmer and slightly more acoustic character than the solid-body alternatives in the same range.
