The Story

1979 ES-335 Cherry Red

Full of style and tone, this is a 1979 Gibson ES-335 in Cherry Red. Specs on this one all point to the era it was built in: witch hat knobs, small block inlays, a trapeze tailpiece and an addition toggle switch at the treble horn to split the humbuckers. This one is in very good condition with medium amounts of players wear: no major dents or dings. The original frets are still there and low, but play and have life left in them. This 335 includes a padded gigbag.

Includes: Gigbag
