1963 Gibson ES-335 TD

Released in 1958, the ES-335 was a real departure in terms of guitar design.
By adding a center block to a slimline double cutaway arch top body,
Gibson created what many consider the perfect electric guitar, a classic shape with solid-body like sustain.

This stunning and fully original 1963 ES-335 is in near mint condition with a nicely figured top and back.
The patent number humbuckers are strong and well balanced,
and the neck has a comfortable round profile typical of mid 1963 models.
Comes with its original black Lifton case w/key, Tune-O-Matic instructions and Gibson strings.

"Only a Gibson is good enough!"
