Up for sale is a stunning super limited Gibson Custom Shop ES-335 ’59 Reissue in Sparkling Merlot  in mint condition. Check out the unbelievable finish! Back, sides, neck...all sparkling merlot! It was almost impossible to photograph this guitar from all the reflection, but you can see just how beautiful this finish is.

This model is difficult to find and limited to only 16 pieces! I have included an old Wildwood video in the listing of this exact model being played. Sounds amazing!

This guitar is from one of Australia's largest private collections and is completely clean. It has never been played or even been out of its case. It was bought and went straight into the collection vault.
