About This Listing

Very good condition Greco version of a 1963 Gibson ES-335. As a result, it has the medium to slim neck carve that those guitars are famous for. Great tone, great player for those looking to replicate Eric Clapton's classic 1963 Gibson ES-335 that he used while in Cream. 

You'll notice I've replaced the original truss rod cover (original is included with purchase) with one that reads "Custom" to make this guitar look like Clapton's Cream ES-335. Just add a few stickers and you've got a reasonable facsimile for a lot less than the $5k that the Clapton ES-335 reissues are going for used. Construction is spot on with a long-neck tenon connecting the body to the neck and kerfing just like the Gibson originals all throughout the body to support the top and back.  Frets are in great condition, guitar needs no work and is ready to play as is. Action is medium. 

Do some research on these classic Greco's, you won't be disappointed as to the quality of this copy. 

Guitar weighs 7.6 lbs.

Neck measures .8350" at the 1st fret, .8695" at the 7th fret, and .9515" at the 12th fret in neck width. 

Bound rosewood fingerboard. Pearloid block inlays and a 1 11/16” nut. Vintage-style nickel tuners with ivoroid buttons. 24 ¾” scale length.

Serial number reads 9 5676 for those who can't make it out. 

Comes with deluxe, non-original hard shell case or I can include the pictured gigbag if you want to take $100 off the price of the guitar.  

All original from what I can tell except for the truss rod cover swap (have the original...).
