2004 Epiphone Elitist 1963 ES-335

A fairly rare guitar, the Epiphone Elitist 1963 ES-335 Dot is a beautifully constructed vintage reproduction that plays and sounds far better than just about anyone expects. The Elitist line is Epiphone’s Made in Japan custom-shop, if you will, and features high-level workmanship and USA-made electronics and Gibson pickups, top-notch workmanship and great looking finishes. They share very little genetic information with the Chinese Epiphones we’re all much more familiar with, and do seriously give Gibson USA guitars a run for their money.



 This Dot-neck 335 is an incredibly resonant instrument unplugged, which translates wonderfully when amplified. It’s an expressive and dynamic guitar that’s fitted with great sounding pickups. The neck has a slim early 60’s carve with a C shape and a nut width of 1-11/16”. Grover tuners, bone nut, high-quality hardware.



 In near perfect condition, this Elitist 335 shows little playwear to its finish and frets and has just been carefully set up here at Folkway.
