Player grade vintage Gibson electric. This is a real ES-335 for way less because of non original hardware and an headstock repair.

Old headstock repair that is solid. Maple backstrap and a checked black lacquer overspray that has been worn down on the neck to the original finish in the playing posistions.

The tailpiece, bridgeposts and pickguard are real 1960's Gibson parts.

All the other hardware are new vintage style parts that have been relic'd to match the age and look of the guitar.

Someone hogged out the hole were the jack is and put on a jackplate.

Tuners where once drilled for grovers, so I switched it to cast Gibson deluxe 3x3 tuners that fit the holes and look more original.

Quality new wiring harness.

From the manufacturer - "Your guitar will have the classic sound of a vintage ES-335. The wiring scheme provides a tight, transparent tone. Unlike modern wiring schemes, it features a reduced treble cut, when rolling back the volume control. The highs sound clearer, especially with the volume pot rolled back. This harness effectively gives you a treble bleed kit function on each volume pot, without adding extra caps and resistors. Smoothie Humbuckers PAF - or "Patent Applied For" humbuckers are basically the holy grail of the guitar world. Our Smoothie Humbuckers nail the PAF tone. The neck pickup is a little lower in output, and the bridge pickup is a little higher, but not too much - around DC Resistance 7.2k and 7.8K ohms, respectively. The pickups are well balanced and dialed in"

Frets have been freshly leveled, crowned and polished.

Would be a great candidate for Swapping out to your favorite pickups without having to worry about originality or have fun hunting down original parts one by one to get it back close to original

Ships in a modern hard case

Please look closely at the pictures, watch the video and ask questions.
Will be packed very secure with loosened strings and shipped quickly.

Part of the cost of shipping is that Reverb "requires" the seller to buy insurance on high end items like this. Last time I did the insurance alone was over 200 on top of the regular shipping.
