PRODUCT DETAILS
This is a 1981 Gibson ES-335 in Natural finish, representing the classic early-80s specification that many players actively seek out for good reasons.
Condition is excellent for the year, with only a few light marks and minor dings, all entirely consistent with a carefully used and well-maintained instrument. It presents very well overall.
The guitar has a superb setup with an easy, low playing action that makes it effortless to play all the way up and down the neck. It has been professionally re-fretted and fitted with a replaced top nut, contributing to its excellent playability.
Built to 1981 Gibson factory specifications, it features a laminated maple body with a solid maple centre block, a three-piece mahogany neck, rosewood fingerboard, 24.75" scale length and original Grover Rotomatic machine heads. The original Tim Shaw PAF humbuckers are intact and sound exceptional.
Tonally, this ES-335 delivers everything you would expect from a great vintage example: warm, open lows, rich and vocal midrange, and clear, articulate highs. The Tim Shaw pickups offer superb dynamic response, excelling at clean and edge-of-breakup tones, while retaining definition and bite when pushed.
Overall, this is a fantastic vintage ES-335 that will not disappoint the serious electric guitar player looking for an authentic, original Memphis-built instrument.
The case is aftermarket but older, very high quality, and a perfect fit, offering excellent protection.
