Available here is a players-grade 1965 Gibson ES-335 TDC with a story to tell!
This guitar maintains an almost all-original condition with the addition of a long Vibrola tailpiece which is of the same era and believed to have been fitted not long after the guitar left the Gibson factory.
With regards to the condition and originality of this guitar, the original parts are as follows:
- Nut
- Kluson Deluxe Tuners
- Small Block Inlays
- Frets - 9/10 condition
- Pickguard
- Stopbar Studs
- ABR-1 Bridge
- Binding
- Switch Tip
- Gold Reflector Control Knobs
- Pickup Surrounds
- Pat. Stamped Pickups
Unfortunately whilst the guitar retains the original Stopbar studs, the original Stopbar is missing. At some point in the lifetime of the guitar, varnish has been applied to the body and the back of the neck, making the appearance of the Cherry finish darker in places. The original Cherry finish remains intact and the guitar has never been re-finished. Other notable changes include a missing ‘Volume’ reflector from the top of the control knob, and two pickup surround screws that have been replaced. The original Gibson hard case is included in the sale, however is in poor condition with a small crack to the rear of the case - all case latches still function as they should.
The guitar is set up and ready to rock with great intonation and has no breaks or structural repairs. The weight of this guitar is 9 lbs 2 oz.
