GIBSON ES 335 TDC, 1966

 cherry red, yes another one!! A wonderful cherry '66 335. Compared to the other one, this one is in even better cosmetic conditions, and sounds like a dream. Very beautiful maple on top and back, nice figure in the wood (pictures don't show that too well... but it's really gorgeous!!). Strong and unfaded color, extremely light checking and very few nicks, some wear on the back of neck and on the headstock edges, which I tried to show in the pictures. Really outstanding overall conditions! Beautiful rosewood fretboard, perfect plating on chrome parts. This guitar is totally original , except for a professional refret job (jumbo frets) and a changed nut.  Everything else is original: the pickups, which were taken off for a while, are the original Patent - Numbers, correctly reinstalled without any modification in look, sound or circuitry. An exceptional guitar, really very playable and with a fantastic sound, full and round: it can sing and it can roar! Original later Gibson case (late '60s - early '70s). Many more pictures below:
