Gibson / ES-137DC / 2003 / Cherryburst / Guitar
OK - I don't think that they come much rarer than this, this is one of two of this model, the other is owned by one of the managers at Gibson USA.
In 2003 Gibson were trying modifications of the ES137 to see if they could make a cost effective Double Cutaway.
They made two of these guitars, one in tobacco, and this one in cherryburst.
I have a letter of confirmation of this story from Gibson.
Highly figured Maple top and back, Gold Hardware, Grover Tuners, Split Paralellogram inlays rosewood fingerboard. Gibson Hardcase with grey lining and satin shroud - included.
This guitar is in amazing condition and is a fabulous guitar to play, setup is great, and the tone immense.
You'll NEVER see another like this!
POSH Guitars, UK
Philip's Old Second Hand Guitars (POSH Guitars) Has arisen not only out of my indefatigable enthusiasm for all things wooden with strings, but also from my love of music and creativity.
I firmly believe in a Creator God , who in his creativity gave us a gift. That gift being music, and in our expression of music we give voice to our passion for God.
I am not a company, but I buy guitars of a high quality, use them for a while and then sell them on. Sometimes this allows me to make a small profit, and I shift that profit on into financing the supply of quality instruments for Christian Musicians who are actively working in a recognised Church fellowship.
In this regard I'm happy to announce that Harvey Gerlitz has allowed me to distribute his Guitar Care Products in the UK, and hopefully through these establish a finance base to expand this mission.
In addition to resourcing Christian worship and creativity, 10% of any profits will be automatically passed on to financing Christian work in Africa, building orphanages to care for the victims of the AIDS epidemic there.
All items purchased will be despatched within 24 hours of received payment. Postage in the UK is by First Class postage, outside the UK it's by Air Mail.
