1967 Gibson ES-335TDC

Serial #024726. A completely original, one owner cherry-red ES-335 in excellent condition, with original hang tags, tunematic instructions, bill of sale, case key, and original hard case. Well, ok... almost completely original - the switch tip is new (but we've aged it to fool you). Bought new at Mason's Music in Toronto on July 11th 1967 by the fellow who has placed it on consignment, this guitar has been very well taken care of over the last 40 years. It has been well used, as is suggested by the finish wear on the back of the neck and its dressed frets; but the guitar is scratch-free and intact. It is a first-rate example of a '67 335, complete with chrome-covered "Patent Number" pickups, trapeze tailpiece, nylon saddle tunematic bridge, double-ring / double-line Kluson tuners, and block fingerboard inlays. The photos should speak for themselves in attesting to the condition of this instrument, and all of you who are looking for a clean and unmolested 60's 335 should consider this instrument - especially as earlier models have become all but unobtainable for the majority of us. The neck angle is perfect, and the set-up is buzz-free with action of 4/64ths across. Great neck profile - round back, with a nut width of 1-5/8". The pickups measure 7.8 kOhms (neck) and 7.7 kOhms (bridge), and the instrument weighs in at a feathery 7.67 pounds with strings! It's a resonant and amazing sounding guitar, with serious investment appeal.
