For sale is a 1966 Gibson ES-335 TDC in Sunburst finish, a genuine vintage example from one of the most appreciated periods of Gibson semi-hollow production.

The guitar is in well-used vintage condition and shows wear throughout, including scratches, finish checking, small chips, edge wear and other marks consistent with its age. The headstock, neck and body all show visible signs of use, and the Gibson crown inlay also shows some age-related deterioration.

It features a rosewood fingerboard with block inlays, trapeze tailpiece and two humbuckers. One pickup carries the Gibson “Patent No. 2,737,842” sticker, clearly visible in the photographs.

The instrument shows natural aging across the finish, plastics, hardware and fingerboard. The overall appearance is that of a guitar that has been played for many years and has developed the typical wear and patina associated with a mid-1960s Gibson.

Detailed photographs are included of the body, neck, headstock, hardware and pickups, together with UV-light photos to provide a clearer view of the finish and its aging.

A vintage hard case is included with the guitar.

Overall, this is a genuine and well-preserved vintage ES-335 with visible use, natural aging and a strong period-correct appearance. It is not presented as a mint or museum-grade example, but as an honest vintage instrument with decades of history behind it.

Please review all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description. Additional detailed photos or information are available on request.
