Description

This 1961 Gibson ES-335 has everything you'd want to look for in a dot neck! While it's easy to fall in love with the rich color of the cherry finish, it's the tone and playability that will keep you coming back for more. The original pickups are nicely balanced with loads of legendary PAF tone. The neck plays easy with a refret and comfortable slim profile. It features a potentially non-factory, yet period correct, Bigsby and repro "Custom-Made" plaque. Also on its repair list history is a clear lacquer overspray to the back, sides and neck; its all very subtle. It is in excellent overall condition with normal checking and very light dings/scratches.

Includes the original hard shell yellow-line Lifton case
