A Near Mint 1960 ES-335TD.
One just 405 Sunburst ES-335TDs, this forty-nine-old beauty weighs just 7.30 lbs. and has a nice, fat nut width of just under 1 11/16 inches and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches. One-piece mahogany neck with a typical thin '60 neck profile, bound Brazilian rosewood fretboard with 22 original jumbo frets and inlaid pearl dot position markers. Individual 'single-line' Kluson Deluxe tuners with single-ring Keystone plastic buttons. Two "double-black" PAF humbucker pickups with black plastic surrounds and outputs of 7.81k and 8.49k. "Long" five-layer (black / white / black / white / black) plastic pickguard extending below the bridge. Four controls (two volume, two tone) plus three-way selector switch for pickup selection, all on lower treble bout. Gold plastic bell-shaped "Bell" knobs. ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic non-retainer bridge with metal saddles and separate stud tailpiece. This superb example is in absolutely mint condition with the exception that the tuner-tips (which had crystalized) have been replaced with 'Uncle Lou' premium tips. A spectacular example with a lightly flamed maple top in near mint (9.25) condition. Housed in the original Gibson five-latch brown hardshell case with pink plush lining (9.25).
