    I have a Gibson ES-135 that I believe is 2002 model. Can you please help me determine a value. I have included a picture of the serial number too. Thank you!

    Not much.

    That's in very rough condition (it looks like the finish has been removed, it's got a bunch of modifications that look iffy, and I'm guessing the trussrod is maxed out based on how much of the threads are showing). I suggest you look on Reverb.com sold listings and the price guide for this model to get a sense of what ones in unmodified decent conditions go for. I'd guess this one is worth less than half than that.

    Plugged P-100/90 routs, and routed for humbuckers, a bunch of new holes drilled for switches and knobs, in addition to what others have said. My gut tells me that you could get $1,200 for it if you cleaned it up well, but that might be optimistic.
