This Preowned 2013 Gibson ES-335 Dot Figured Reissue in Vintage Sunburst is in good condition overall, with the original hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity, and Warranty card.
The original owner swapped the factory Grover tuners out for Kluson reissue tuners, the original tuners are in the case.
The original owner also swapped out the factory '57 Classic pickups for Lollar Imperial Low-Wind humbuckers, the original pickups are also included in the case.
The original owner swapped the black top-hat knobs for gold top-hat knobs, the original knobs are included in the case.
It is a player and not a case-queen, it has belt buckle wear on the back, a ding on the back of the neck, and some finish checking (see photos) and the stoptail is set fairly low to the body to compensate for the underset neck.
As we do with all of our guitars, our in-house luthier will do a full setup on it prior to delivery, either in-store or for an online order.
From Gibson about this version of the ES-335:
"History: History speaks for itself. The ES-335 is one of the most important guitars of all time. Right from its introduction in 1958 as the world’s first semi-hollowbody electric guitar it has been a mainstay of players eager to balance the gorgeous, round, mellow tones perfect for jazz and blues with the edge and sustain of a full-blooded solidbody.
Today the Gibson Custom Shop creates exacting duplicates of the ES-335 as it first left the Kalamazoo plant in 1958. That year just 267 were built, but the original vintage 335s grew steadily in popularity, peaking in 1967 thanks largely to Eric Clapton’s high-profile use of a cherry ES-335 in the band Cream.
Body and Finishes
With the figured maple top, back, and rims option this one is done in vintage sunburst.
Regardless of color, the ES-335 retains its classic proportions: 16 1/2-inches wide, 20-inches long, and 1 3/4-inches deep. The neck is one-piece mahogany beneath a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearloid inlays and a single-ply binding. Additionally, there’s single-ply binding on the top and back.
Hardware
All hardware is nickel, and there’s a classic ABR-1 bridge with a stopbar tailpiece. Neck length is 24 3/4 inches with a 1 11/16-inch nut width. Satin finish models have vintage style tulip shaped tuners, while figured and plain tops come with Grover kidney-shaped tuners. All Custom Shop ES-335s have powerful ’57 Classic humbucking pickups, two volume pots, two tone pots, and a three-way pickup selector switch. They are strung with Gibson Brite Wire .010 strings and come safely nestled in a black levant case."
