Description

Tasty ES-335 from 1978. Has definitely had a life, consequently feels extremely nice to play. Has had a refret at some point. Some overspray on the back of the neck..however, all the bits that you want to be right, are right. Pots date to 1977. Patent stamp pickups. original tuners and bridge. Yep you can nab a 90s ES for less that this, that will probably weigh a bit more, and in my humble opinion, won't have as much character. Classic Gibson slim taper neck. Plenty of wear on the body and neck near the fingerboard. Norlin era ES guitars seem to escape many of the things that bother some people about the era, and I reckon, in terms of playability and sound, they are still well and truly 'under the radar' Made in the USA and comes with the original Gibson case.
