1962 Gibson ES-335 TD
Released in 1958, the ES-335 was a real departure in terms of guitar design.
By adding a center block to a slimline double cutaway arch top body,
Gibson created what many consider the perfect electric guitar, a classic shape with solid-body like sustain.
A truly stunning specimen with probably the nicest top to ever grace a vintage sunburst 335:
the birdseye maple really shines from every angle!
Better still, it’s a true one owner guitar, he bought it new in early 1963.
Comes with an original black Lifton case and case candy.
"Only a Gibson is good enough!"
