2001 Gibson Custom Shop '59 ES-335 Electric Guitar Antique Natural - Used

Includes: Original Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, and Case Candy

This is a truly excellent ES-335. A preowned '59 ES-335 Dot, made by the Custom Shop in 2001. Features include an antique natural finish on a maple body with cream top, back, and fretboard binding, a mahogany neck with a rosewood fretboard, 24-3/4" scale length, an ABR-1 bridge with a stopbar tailpiece, Kluson-style tuners, and nickel hardware.

The previous owner of this ES-335 installed a set of Tom Holmes 450/455 humbuckers in the guitar. These elusive humbuckers sound nothing short of fantastic. They pump out a super-clear and round tone with great response and a ton of punch, without being overly bassy. They're definitely among the best pickups we've ever heard in a 335.

With no major scratches, dents, or dings the guitar is in great condition. There is a small ding on the top of the headstock, with some pick and surface marks around the body of the guitar. However, none of which affect the playability, or even the looks of the guitar from more than a few inches away. The serial number on the certificate is off by one digit, we assume this is just a mistake as all other info matches up, therefore we are including it with the guitar as this is how it came to us.
