Description
This 1960 Gibson ES-335 in Sunburst is the real deal and it shows. For a guitar that’s been around this long, it’s in remarkably clean shape overall (see condition notes), with no surprises or oddball changes—just the pickup covers pulled and tucked into the case so you can actually see that wild zebra humbucker staring back at you. It feels almost unnervingly fresh for a ’60: lively, effortless to play, and shockingly responsive under the hands. Plugged in, it does exactly what you hope an early ES-335 will do—huge, open tone with clarity, bloom, and plenty of punch. This is one of those rare vintage pieces that will floor both collectors and players the moment they pick it up. Comes with the OHSC.
