1958 Gibson ES-335 Sunburst, Near Mint, Original Hard

Stunningly clean very late 58 (last week of December) ES-335. It is the bound neck found on later 58's and has the best 58 features-thin top, huge neck (.91" first fret, .96" 12th). The neck angle is shallow but not nearly as shallow as the early 58's. The full size ABR-1 is only slightly milled on the treble side only. The guitar has the "2" designation on the headstock indicating that it went back to the spray booth to cover a flaw. The unusually deep sunburst is probably a result of that. Condition is 9+ with almost no checking and no wear at all. Tuners are repro but the shrunken originals are in the case. The guitar has been refretted with 59 size wire rather than the small stock 58 wire. There is a small chip that has been reglued at the top of the headstock. This guitar has everything I look for in a 335. Real clean brown with pink Stone case with case key.
