Our users rate Reverb
I hardly played the guitar. And my fingerstyle playing does not involve much bending of the strings. So, fret wear is very minimal. There are some light scratches on the pickguard from strumming.
The guitar was bought brand new from Chicago Music Exchange by the first owner. I bought the guitar form the first owner. And while the guitar is a 2016 '63 reissue, it was purchased by the first owner last December 17, 2017. And I purchased it from the first owner last February 16, 2018.
Major Specifications:
Although the ES-335 kicked off with the "dot neck" in 1958, many players have always preferred the "block neck" version of the early '60s. The beautifully re-created 1963 ES-335TD includes the correct body shape with narrower horns and rolled fingerboard binding for a soft playing feel.
Accurate '63 body shape
By the mid '60s the ES-335 body shape had evolved to take on more elegant cutaways with slim horns
Block inlays
Pearl fingerboard blocks are a hallmark of the second-gen ES-335 design
Matched potentiometers
Matched 550K potentiometers contribute to accurate vintage tone
Historic construction
The neck is attached with hot hide glue, as are the quarter-sawn Adirondack spruce top braces
Historic truss rod
Our historic truss rod has no tube, a proven known to enhance the guitar's resonance and sustain
MHS pickups
These accurate PAF clones use Alnico magnets and mismatched coils for that characteristic complexity and bite
Period-correct frets
Using fret wire of precise vintage specs delivers an accurate '63 playing feel
