1959 Gibson ES-335TDN Blonde/Natural, Very Good, Original Hard

Mid to late 59 ES-335 TDN. this guitar is all original except for the tuner tips and the added vintage correct Bigsby. It left the factory as a stop tail and had a B-5 (horseshoe) Bigsby added and then removed. Holes were filled and a Bigsby B7 was added. So, it's got 7 small holes in the top-some filled, some not and mostly under the Bigsby. That knocks many thousands off the price but doesn't change the tone or the fact that it's a blonde 59. Sealed PAFs. The neck is transitional "medium" profile. The stop tail bushings are under the black dots. This had pearl dots when I got it but they weren't mounted flush (as they would have been at the factory) and I had a set of factory black dots (from a 59 345) that look better. You can keep the black ones, switch to pearl, put on a "Custom Made" plate (not correct on a 59) or mount a stop tail. Original brown Stone case in good condition.
