2018 Gibson ES-335 Figured Blueberry Burst Blueberry Burst

Offered for sale;

Used 2018 Gibson ES-335 Figured Blueberry Burst serial number 13518724.

We almost never use the term “mint condition” but this guitar is in unplayed and therefore shows no playing time. The protective plastic is still on the pick guard. That’s because the original owner buys nice guitars and rarely plays them. Then after a few months he sells them to us. He was the original owner but you will be the original player.

Gibson states:

“The Gibson ES-335 Figured is the perfect blend of form and function. Equipped with a thermally engineered chambered maple centerblock, and thermally engineered quarter-sawn Adirondack spruce bracing, players will be impressed by the lightweight feel and expanded range of tonal capabilities.

Dressed in high-end appointments like our hand-wired Memphis Tone Circuit Premiere (MTC Premiere) control assembly, the all new Memphis Historic Spec II (MHS II) humbucking pickups, and an ABR-1 bridge with titanium saddles, this just might be the best one yet. Gorgeous AAA figured maple veneers are available in Blueberry Burst and Sunset Burst.”

Imperial Guitar says:

Just wow!!!

And if that isn’t enough, didn’t they get that blueberry perfect? Can’t you just taste it?

“We carefully inspect every instrument when we buy it and bring it up to our standards before we offer it for sale. We also do a full set up before we ship. If you decide to purchase this guitar, please let us know what gauge strings you prefer.”

*Please note: we do our best giving descriptions of used pieces. We have found it impossible to describe every mark on an instrument or amp that is not in the "mint" category. Also, what's important to you may not be important to someone else. For example, you may say, "I don't care what it looks like as long as it plays or sounds well." Another person may say, "Body cosmetics are very important to me so tell me about every scratch, nick and blemish." So, please ask the questions that are most important to you. If you ask they will be answered. They are free and there's no limit. Additional photos can also be made available.

This is a specific item that is also being offered for sale in our brick & mortar location. It is possible that it has just been sold. Please ask if it is still available before purchasing.

*It is our policy to require a signature on delivery of all musical instruments. Please let us know if you prefer no signature required when ordering or we will automatically require a signature.
