Simple white binding sets off the unfigured maple body, with its unbound f-holes. An unbound rosewood fingerboard is ornamented with dot inlays, and the headstock is similarly unbound and unornamented, save the gold Gibson decal.
Otherwise, it’s a simple- and functional-looking instrument, with immaculate craftsmanship. If that center block weren’t there, this would be a dead ringer for the jazz player’s workhorse, the ES-175. The Limited-Edition 135 features the famous PAF ’57 humbuckers and gold hardware, including Grover tuners and a trapeze tailpiece. You’d normally find the ES-135 outfitted with chrome hardware and P-90 pickups or, on some models, Gibson’s stacked P-100s. With its single cutaway and slightly deeper body (2.125 inches at the edge), the ES-135 comes a little closer to a jazz guitar than its 335-based brothers.
