Description

This 1959 Gibson ES-335 in Sunburst presents with the hallmark features of the model, including its semi-hollow construction and original sunburst finish. The guitar has received a refret by our in-house repair team and shows several period and later alterations, including black-painted f-hole edges and replaced tuner buttons. It has a low neck angle more commonly associated with late-’50s examples, and the bridge was factory-ground on the bottom. Cosmetically, it remains in very good condition for its age other than the aforementioned modifications.

*When using Affirm, we charge an additional 3.5% fee on the total at checkout. The majority of our instruments are consignment, where CVG keeps a small percentage of each sale. To be able to cover the additional costs required to offer financing, we have to include a higher fee to the customer. The 3.5% fee will be included in and spread across your Affirm payments.
