Description

This 1961 Gibson ES-335, formerly owned by Eric Johnson, is a remarkable example of Gibson’s golden-era craftsmanship, with the added provenance of one of the most respected guitarists in modern music. Featuring a classic semi-hollow laminate maple body, a fast-playing mahogany neck with a Brazilian rosewood fingerboard, and original PAF humbuckers, this guitar delivers the rich, dynamic tones that have made the ES-335 legendary. Included with the guitar is the original hardshell case and a letter from Eric Johnson confirming his ownership. See the Specs tab for the full repair history.
