Gibson ES-135 with P-90s – 1995

This 1995 Gibson ES-135 is a full-on tone machine, loaded with vintage mojo and a pair of gritty, golden-era-inspired P-90 pickups. Finished in classic gloss and sporting that unmistakable thinline semi-hollow vibe, it nails the sweet spot between a bluesy growl and clean jazz chime.

The laminated maple body keeps feedback in check while still delivering the resonance you'd expect from a semi-hollow. The mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard are smooth and fast, with a comfortable, slightly chunky feel that gives it that “played-in” perfection. The P-90s are everything you want—bright and snappy when clean, raw and raunchy when pushed.

Whether you're gigging, recording, or just playing for the sheer joy of it, this ES-135 has the soul and sound to back you up. Comes with a case.
