I love a 335 with a big fat neck. I don't have big hands but that's what I play. But this 58 is simply too big for me. At .955" at the first fret and nearly 1.05" at the 12th, it's a Louisville Slugger. I'm also partial to thin top 335's which means 58's and a few 59's. The late 58's are my favorites. This one is fairly late-probably November...bound fingerboard, thin top, big neck and a shallow neck angle. It is currently set up with its original undamaged and straight low profile ABR-1. Most 58's have been converted to shaved full height ABR-1's because the originals are prone to collapse. This one seems pretty stable. Just don't expect it to stay that way with 12's or heavier strings. Stick to 10's or maybe 11's. It is all original except for the frets. Never had a Bigsby, never had different tuners. There are some minor cracks in the top ply around the jack which is very common on thin tops-thats why Gibson made the tops thicker in 59. Be careful and it will be fine for another 65 years (use a 90 degree plug). Nothing sounds like a thin top 335. Super resonant and aggressive, these 58's (and some 59's) are rock and roll and blues steamrollers. They sustain like nobody's business and will drive your amp into serious overdrive. Light weight for those who care about that (that means you boomers) at 8 lbs 2 ounces. Brown Gibson badged case. More photos soon.
