Description

No, you aren't seeing double, we have two (2) fabulous Gibson ES 335 Fat Neck guitars in stock right now, both in Antique Natural finish. For players in the know, buying yourself a 335 Fat Neck is like getting a '59 ES 335 for less money. In fact, until it sold recently, we also had a '59 ES 335 in Natural finish in stock too and I'll be darned if I could tell the difference between these instruments unless I looked at the paperwork.

This beautiful ES 335 Fat Neck was built in 2008 and has the following specs: a laminated maple top, back and sides in Antique Natural finish with single ply binding; a one-piece Mahogany neck that feels like it came right off of a '59 LP with depth measurements of .900" at the first fret and 1.00" at the twelfth fret; a 1 11/16" nut width; a nice dark Indian Rosewood fretboard with pearloid dots; an ABR-1 bridge and stop bar tailpiece; Kluson style tuners; and 57 Classic humbuckers. This example is quite light, weighing just 7.75 pounds (7 pounds, 12 ounces).

As with the 2010 model of this instrument that we have in stock, this guitar plays like butter. The setup is nice a low with 12th fret string heights of 5/64" on the bass side and 4/64" on the treble side. It gives forth that woody Gibson tone that, while many can get close, none can quite reproduce. The ES 335 is a design that has stood the test of time and it is a guitar that remains hugely popular nearly half a century after it's introduction.

This guitar is in excellent plus condition with only light evidence of play. You can find some scuffs on the pickguard and headstock from string changes. The body, neck and frets are extremely clean. This guitar is completely original except for the installation of strap lock pins, but the original strap pins are included in the case as well. It comes in it's original black Gibson Custom case, along with the certificate of authenticity. Get yourself a great ES 335 with a neck shape that makes all the difference!
