1961 Gibson ES-355 TDSV Cherry 2 PAF Humbuckers Vintage Guitar | Original Case 335 345

1961 Gibson ES-355 TDSV Cherry 2 PAF Humbuckers Vintage Guitar w Original Case 335 345!

This is a beautiful 1961 Gibson ES-355 TDSV, a fantastic example of an early-'60s high-end Gibson. The guitar is all original except for a professional refret with nibs, which feels great and preserves the vintage look. No breaks, no repairs, no refins!

It is currently converted to mono using a different wiring harness to preserve the original components, but all original parts are included should you choose to return it to full stereo/Varitone spec. The two untouched PAF pickups are a major highlight — strong, clear, and exactly what you want in a '61.

Features include the original sideways Vibrola, ABR-1 bridge, patent number Grover tuners, reflector knobs, ebony fingerboard, and the factory cherry red finish with no touchups. The multi-ply binding throughout is clean and crisp, and the guitar presents as an Excellent vintage example.

Playability is outstanding and the tone is tremendous — exactly what a great ES-355 should deliver. Comes with its original hard case.
