This 1959 ES-355 is a remarkably rare, all original example of one of the most sought after vintage instruments ever made. Considered by some to be the holy grail year of the 335/345/355 series, 1959 was the first year of the coveted Mickey Mouse ear era. This guitar retains all of its original components from that time, with shockingly little wear. Aside from beautiful checking, some light deterioration to the headstock inlay, patina on the golden hardware, and minor player wear, this guitar could've been fresh out of the factory today.
Featuring double white PAF pickups, the tone of this instrument is otherworldly. The body of the tone is warm and full, while incredibly responsive to digging in to get some grit out of it. It will blow you away.
Includes original Lifton hard shell case.
