The Story

ES-335 Sunburst 1968

Here's a vintage 1968 Gibson ES-335, in original condition with the exception of the pickguard bracket nut. The sunburst on this guitar is nice and vibrant, and the fretboard has a beautiful dark brown color. The neck has a comfortable "C" profile, and the original electronics retain the open and airy tone we love 335s for. The guitar has only light fretwear on the cowboy chord areas, and small amounts of finish checking. It plays like a dream, and includes the original case.

Includes: Original Hardshell Case
