'94 Gibson ES-135 (and original case)
02 December 2022
Description

everything about the instrument is intact and it plays marvelously, with the exception of the headstock which seems to have gone through an amateur paint job with the original inlays being covered up (the gibson logo and the model name) and in their places have been glued a white pearloid gibson logo as well as the gibson diamond inlay.

Hi Diego,

Thank you for contacting Mearto with your appraisal inquiry.
I can't read the serial number through the F-hole - can you tell me what it says?

Thanks,
Delia

Hi Diego,
I'm not sure if you saw my message above but so I can move ahead with this appraisal, I'm valuing it somewhat generally without the serial number, then can fine tune the value if/when you're able to get me the number.
Based on the photos and information provided, and subject to examination, this is:

A vintage Gibson ES 135 electric guitar
circa 1994,
The hollow-body electric guitar with single cutaway and brown sunburst finish. It features a trapeze tail piece, two pickups, and dual f-holes. With a hard case with red lining.
24 3/4 inches long
CONDITION: client warrants this plays marvelously but that the headstock has undergone an amateur paint job with the original inlays being covered up (the gibson logo and the model name) and in their places have been glued a white pearloid gibson logo as well as the gibson diamond inlay.
