Up for sale, a 2020 Gibson Custom Shop Historic 1964 ES-335TD in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with a Gibson hardshell case, CoA, and hangtags. A discontinued model, this Historic series 1964 ES-335 boasts a bevy of golden age Gibson specs. Features include a pair of Custombucker PAF humbuckers, a bound rosewood fretboard with small block inlay, a Vintage Burst VOS nitro lacquer finish, and nickel-plated hardware.

Weighing 7lbs 10oz, this ES-335 features a lightweight centerblock and quartered Adirondack spruce bracing (adhering to vintage spec) on the thinline maple/poplar/maple body, with a defined and balanced natural acoustic voice. The Custombucker PAF humbuckers deliver tight low end, a complex, tailored midrange, and sweet highs, consistent with Gibson's golden age PAF ("Patent Applied For") pickups. The pickups balance both exquisite clarity and rich growl, wound with Alnico III magnets and offering great bloom and complex harmonics. This Custom Shop Historic 1964 ES-335TD has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

The VOS Vintage Burst nitro lacquer finish is pitch-perfect in its tint and application, with some light finish scratches in the clear coat on the edges of the burst on the back, light pick scuffing on the treble side cutaway beyond the pickguard, and some isolated checking extending from the edge of the bass-side F hole. The nitro finish on the neck profile is flawless.
