1961 Gibson ES-335 TDC – Cherry

Clean 1961 Gibson ES-335 TD in Cherry finish in great condition. This is one of the famous “Dot” neck guitars with “Mickey Mouse” ears, original PAF humbuckers and factory stoptail…and it’s really clean. It’s got a few dings and dongs but the color is still wonderful bright and didn’t fade. It once was converted to Grovers and now there are new Kluson tuners installed. One pickup mounting ring has been replaced to a later M8 and the pickup screws of the bridge pickup are newer Phillips screws. Other than that it’s original. The Centralab pots are dated 134.61.04 & 134.61.40, the original PAF humbuckers read 8.23K (N) and 7.67K(B). The neck has the typical slim early 60s profile, the original factory frets are still in great shape. It’s got the factory light-weight stop-tailpiece, orig. ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic “non-wire” bridge with nylon saddles. Really amazing looking and sounding guitar, it was used in an exclusive studio as 335-reference guitars for the last decades! The guitar comes in its original brown Lifton hardshell-case w/pink lining.
