  • Description: **HOLD**These are quickly becoming a favorite. It's like having a 335 that's dressed for the ball. The early ones from 58 to early 60 use the red dye that fades to watermelon like the über rare 59 ES 345 I had a while back. This is a later 59, so it has the full width nut but a slimmer (than a 59 335 anyway) profile. Very comfortable. Original PAFs just sing. This is a very bright and articulate player-probably not for the jazzer but a blues machine for sure. No deterioration of the long guard either like so many. This is a 99% original instrument. 99%? Yep. One pot was replaced and it's been pro refretted. Brown and pink Gibson badged correct period case.
