1981 Gibson First Year ES-335 Dot Reissue Antique Natural Blonde, Excellent, Original Hard, $3,499.00
Beautiful example of a first year Gibson dot neck blonde ’59 Reissue ES335. Here we have a 1981 Gibson ES335 Dot Reissue in the historically accurate Antique Natural Blonde finish. These early 80s Dot Reissue 335s are highly regarded by 335 players and Gibson lovers all around. Nice and chunky neck that I would describe as being somewhere between a modern 60s and 50s style. Perfect weight and very well balanced. The original ink-stamped Shaw pickups sound fantastic and really help this guitar come to life. Tone wise you can expect excellent bass response, clarity, and mids from this beauty as well as great overtones. Overall in Excellent condition with some buckle-wear, light play-wear, some fret wear, spots of light finish checking, and some tiny dings, but nothing to write home about. This one is currently set up with a major upgrade owners of these guitars generally do, which is installing an RS 500K 335 kit. Comes with the the hardshell case and wiring harness. Looking for a really cool natural 335? Look no further!
