Description

This 1965 Sunburst ES-335TD is a breathtaking vintage semi-hollow body guitar that combines classic style with exceptional playability. Its stunning sunburst finish is beautifully complemented by a wide transitional nut width for effortless playing. The original Patent Sticker pickups are rich and dynamic, perfectly capturing the aged warmth and resonance of the maple body.

Cosmetically, the guitar showcases extensive finish checking and nicks, adding to its well-loved, vintage aesthetic. The tuners were replaced at one point but have since been reverted to the originals, now secured with conversion bushings. Additional updates include a new nut, refret, replaced switch tip, and new strap pins.

One thing to note: the original orange label is no longer present inside the f-hole. Despite these changes, the guitar plays wonderfully and offers a versatile tonal range, making it an excellent choice for any collection. It comes with a non-original hardshell case.
