Description

This 1960 ES-335 is a soulful player with the character of a guitar that has seen steady attention over the years while keeping its core identity intact. The wiring harness has been updated with vintage pots and replacement bumblebee capacitors, and the PAFs have been replaced, with the bridge cover swapped for a later example. A refret, nylon nut, and new tuner buttons contribute to its current playability, and a vintage replacement pickguard completes the hardware lineup. Cosmetically, it remains in good shape for its age - there is notable finish wear and dings as well as checking throughout.

Includes vintage Lifton hard shell case.
