Up for sale, a 2001 Gibson ES-335 Dot in near-mint, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. This ES-335 hails from an increasingly celebrated era of Gibson production, featuring broad, deep flame figuring extending evenly across the body, loaded with a pair of ‘57 Classic PAF humbuckers.

The semi-hollow maple body construction delivers treble detail and a certain tonal breadth and airiness, qualities translated faithfully via the '57 Classic PAF humbuckers. These pickups offer a smooth bass register, tailored midrange, and sweet, articulate trebles, consistent with Gibson's golden era vintage "Patent Applied For" pickups. The pickups have ample clarity and power, with a slightly hotter bridge pickup and a sweet, round neck position humbucker that has great bloom and complex harmonic content. This ES-335 Dot weighs 8lbs 8oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The nitro gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
