1976 Gibson ES-335TD (USA, Nicotined Sunburst, HSC)
Ol' Smokey here was born in 1976 and it seems the last few decades have not been kind...has certainly lived quite the life it seems! No doubt travelled far and wide playing the many great stages of the world as somones number one workhorse. You really cant go wrong with an ES-335 and this one is pretty darn badass.
Slim but not too slim neck profile but very comfortable in the hand, original frets intact with some life left but would benefit from a refret. Having said that it still plays wonderfully. Certainly one resonant ES thats for sure! Rosewood fingerboard, small block inlays, trapeze tailpiece. The original machine heads were replaced long ago with schallers along with the control knobs and the back of the neck has seen a shave back of the finish for a smoother feel. Coil tap unlocks another world. Made in USA. Comes with a Gibson hardcase.
