1963 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.

This stunning original 1963 ES-335 is in near mint condition with a lovely figured top.
The patent number humbuckers are strong and well balanced,
and the neck has a comfortable round profile typical of early 1963 models.
Comes with an original black Lifton case w/key and some case candy.

"Only a Gibson is good enough!"
