Gibson ES 137 Classic... good? bad? meh?

A nice looking 2005 burst Gibson ES 137 Classic popped up a few days ago on craigslist for $1500 (looks like the image below). The guitar looks pretty nice and from googling looks like the price isn't bad for what it is and its condition. I've never played one but read people comment that it feels like a Les Paul and sounds like a really fat sounding Les Paul which kinda has me interested.

Seeing if anyone has any good or bad experiences with one, thanks!

I always wanted one but never dug the 59 neck profile and also did not like the aesthetics etc. I do not think they are bad guitars though.
 
I'd rock one. I remember back in '98/'99 they came out with one with 496R/500T pickups, silver. I wanted one SO bad! Don't see many of those.
 
Thanks guys, I think the gas has slightly diminished on this for now... Still want one but after seeing the ES-235s makes me think I don't need to jump on this particular guitar right away. Thanks @boyedav!
