The Gibson ES-335TD is a timeless masterpiece. Since its debut in 1958—combining a hollow thin-body structure with a center block—it has become synonymous with the semi-hollow guitar, a legendary instrument whose sound has been immortalized by countless musicians. The 1964 model year is particularly prized for its iconic features, such as block position markers, slightly sharper cutaway horns, and nylon saddles. This specific instrument is a 2022 "1964 ES-335 Reissue Sixties Cherry" from the "Murphy Lab Collection," a series dedicated to achieving exceptional vintage accuracy. It features the "Ultra Light Aged" finish, replicating a vintage instrument preserved in pristine condition with only subtle weather checking and minimal signs of wear. Specifications include a mahogany neck, Indian rosewood fingerboard, laminated maple body, nylon-saddle bridge, "2-ring/2-line" Kluson Deluxe tuners, and unpotted "Custombucker" pickups. The Murphy Lab Collection elevates the unique atmosphere of vintage instruments through advanced technology. While traditional aging processes often relied on blades to simulate weather checking, Murphy Lab utilizes a newly developed lacquer—engineered through the analysis of 1950s and 60s nitrocellulose finishes—to achieve authentic, naturally occurring weather checking. Furthermore, the thin finish provides a natural feel and exceptional acoustic resonance—rich and powerful—that rivals true vintage instruments. It is truly the "ultimate vintage clone series," offering players the look and feel of a vintage original. It delivers the rich resonance expected of a semi-hollow guitar, a sweet midrange that hits the "sweet spot," and a highly refined performance that dynamically reproduces picking nuances with rich harmonics and excellent responsiveness. Please note that this instrument previously had a Bigsby vibrato installed; the mounting screw holes have since been professionally filled and finished cleanly. The screw marks next to the endpin, combined with the Murphy Lab aging, create an atmosphere indistinguishable from a true vintage instrument. While the aging process makes it difficult to distinguish certain details, the guitar is in excellent condition with no significant damage indicating heavy use; the frets show no noticeable wear, and the neck—including the truss rod—is in great shape. It has been set up with a low, comfortable action. This is an outstanding instrument that rivals vintage models in both looks and tone—we highly recommend checking it out. Includes original hard case and certificate of authenticity.
