1959 Gibson ES-335 Au Naturale!!!

One of the rare Blonde Dot neck from the pinnacle of Gibson electric manufacturing. The one had a Bigsby installed by the dealer (Sonny Shields Music) yes the store responsible for all of the Dwight guitars from the early through mid 60's located in East St. Louis, IL. The original owner (who we got this from) installed palm pedals in the 70's. Original ABR-1 has been ground down a little in the middle. Tailpiece is original lightweight 59 but appears to have been re-plated. Plays and sounds great and all electronics are correct and working. Shows moderate but not severe wear to original frets. There is some finish bubble and darker area on back of body but it is not through finish and does not appear to have been repaired or tampered with. On the side near strap button there 3 of the 4 holes usually seen for Bigsby mount. Comes with rough but original Hard Case.
