Description
Attention collectors! This is the ultimate Gibson ES 335, 1968 100% factory original and unmolested in a beautiful sunburst finish with a Bigsby trem. You can see that it was well cared for, and played sparingly as it is in excellent condition for a vintage instrument. Apart from the aged appearance, it is completely structurally sound, with no cracks or repairs to be found. You'll pay more for some NEW instruments that have undergone an aging *process*... why not have the real thing?
This guitar sounds as good as it looks. Unbelievably open, airy and 3-dimensional PAF pickups add a ton of depth, growl and bring the beautiful harmonics to the foreground of the mix. Strummed acoustically it sounds incredible, with a loud, clean voice rivaling that of a small acoustic; this thing could be played unplugged with no issue. Effortless to play with low action, it has a clean setup and is ready to rock.
Guitar is EXC+ vintage condition with checking, dings and scratches throughout - consistent with age. No faults or flaws, and it plays like absolute butter. Comes with original hardshell case! Even the case is an incredible piece of history that adds to the vintage appeal to this iconic axe.
