1968 Gibson ES-335 TDC – Cherry
We present an original 1968 Gibson ES-335 TDC in its original Cherry finish. Made in Kalamazoo, Michigan.
This Gibson ES-335 TDC is in exceptionally clean condition. It is all original, except for brand-new frets. Otherwise, just like it left the Kalamazoo factory back in 1968 – there are no breaks or repairs The stock “Patent Number” sticker humbuckers are powerful and articulate. The Gibson semi-hollow maple body provides the quick attack characteristic of this particular tonewood, along with an airy, warm quality. Acoustically, the tone is authoritative and clear — qualities that translate exceptionally well through the pickups. The neck features a profile unique to Gibson from this period, beginning as a relatively slender C-shape at the nut and quickly gaining both depth and shoulder for a fuller feel.
The bound rosewood fretboard features pearloid block inlays. The headstock is clean and fitted with the original Kluson Deluxe double-line/double-ring tuning machines. The orange oval Gibson label has crisp text and a serial number that matches the impressed serial number on the back of the headstock. The bridge is the original chrome Gibson Tune-o-Matic. Original black hat knobs are present, along with the stock pickguard, switch tip, and pickup covers.
Pickups and electronics remain untouched and fully intact, with no broken solder joints and no rewound pickups. All components are original and correct.
Comes with its original chipboard case. Latches and handle are in perfect working order.
Professionally set up in our workshop here at Guitar.
