Description
Introducing this 1964 Gibson ES-335 TD Sunburst, an original example that embodies all the elegance and character of Gibson semi-hollows of the era. Purchased from Black Magic, this guitar stands out for its classic construction with a laminated poplar and maple body.
The mahogany neck with a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard has been re-fretted over the years, preserving its full playability without compromising its vintage charm. Sonically, the pickup combination is particularly interesting: the neck features an original PAF pickup, rich, dynamic, and incredibly expressive, while the bridge features a patent number pickup that maintains period-correct tonal character and adds attack and definition.
The hardware remains largely original, with an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar, while the saddles have been replaced with the original nylon ones, which are included. The pickguard is original, as are the tuners: Grover tuners had been installed during the instrument’s life, but the original tuners were later restored, restoring the guitar to its original configuration.
This ES-335 combines authenticity, history, and playability, an instrument capable of still offering all the charm and unmistakable voice of the great Gibsons of the 1960s.
The guitar includes its original vintage case.
