1961 Gibson ES-355 TDSV - Cherry  incl. orig Lifton hardshell case

Super clean 1961 Gibson ES-355TDSV in Cherry finish, all original and in excellent condition for its age. Almost no visible playwear just the usual patina/wear on the gold-plating. The finish is still vibrant red and dosn´t show any fading, the original frets are still in great shape. Comfortable wide mahogany neck plus two amazing sounding original "PAF" humbucking pickups with strong outputs of N=7,66K and B=7,84K, all original electronic with untouched solderjoints, all 4 pots are still in its un-opened pot-cans. At the back Strap around the 4 Bigsby attchment holes there is a black Plastic Cover which shows some additional holes underneath.
