1968 Gibson ES-335 Red, Excellent, Hard, $5,600.00

This is a beautiful guitar. It sat in its case under a bed and was recently discovered. Condition is 9.5+ and it plays and sounds as good as any 64. It started life as a trap tail and was converted to Bigsby I would guess fairly early on since that's an early 60's B7 Bigsby. Chrome is perfect. Finish is nearly perfect with no checking anywhere and the red is as vibrant as the day it left the store. Everything but the Bigsby is original. Neck is the 1 9/16" variety with some pretty good meat on it-not the really skinny one like in late 65-66. Pickups are sealed so they could be pre T-top or T-top. It has been re-fretted. Bobbin screws are Philips so it could go either way. Orange label has fallen out but the headstock serial is 68 for sure. It is in a newer hard case.
