1964 Gibson ES-335 TD – Sunburst – Factory Bigsby

We present an all original 1964 Gibson ES-335 TD in Sunburst finish with factory Bigsby. Made in Kalamazoo, Michigan.

This historical and incredible Gibson ES-335 is coming directly from the original owner.  Overall, this guitar is in excellent and clean condition with minor cosmetic wear. It has got a bit of play-wearspots  on the back of the neck, but overall in stunning condition. Beautiful laminated double cutaway maple body with the original factory ‘custom-made’ plate on the top, that signales that it was a custom order.

No breaks or any repairs on this Gibson semi-hollowbody. It even comes with its original hang tags, manual, price tag, original screwdriver and the original receipt. It’s all there!

This hollow body comes with a rare pair of “Patent Number” humbucking pickups. The pickups sound amazing and are well-balanced and the covers are undisturbed. They are also untouched and totally factory stock. The oval orange label clean and intact with handwritten ES-335 TD letter. 1-piece Mahogany neck with bound rosewood fretboard with block inlays. The original frets still have a lot of life in them and are in generally good condition. The original Kluson singleline/doublering tuners works perfect and turns smoothly.

This Gibson semi-hollow is rich in harmonic overtones, incredibly expressive, and an excellent reminder of why vintage Gibsons are so coveted. In particular, the high-end is extremely articulate without ever sounding abrasive or harsh, which allows single note runs to sing out with beautiful cascading harmonic content. Notes attack with exceptional bloom and compression, which gives this 335 a balanced, robust voice. Just a perfect ES-335 that everybody wants.

Pickups and the electronics/wiring remain untouched and intact, with no broken solder joints, no re-wound pickups. All original and correct.

Comes complete with its original black Gibson hardshell case with yellowing lining. Latches and handle are in perfect working order.
