The 1966 ES-335 shines as a prime illustration of Gibson's classic semi-hollow body guitars. Adorned with its iconic sunburst finish, this specific model has been subject to various repairs and modifications aimed at improving playability while preserving its vintage charm. The original trapeze tailpiece has been reinstalled after it held a post-factory conversion stop tailpeice. An old headstock repair has remained stable and the lacquer overspray on the face and back has aged gracefully. Additionally, this guitar was previously fitted with Grovers, but has since had its reproduction Kluson tuners installed with conversion bushings. This guitar is a remarkable player-grade ES-335, offering a more approachable price compared to fully original pieces. Oh, and this one has an untouched set of the coveted transitional Patent No. Sticker humbuckers; PAF-like tones for days.

1960s ESS & ESS black cloth covered hardshell with gold velvet lining.
