Gibson ES-335TD Model Semi-Hollow Body Electric Guitar (1972), made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, serial # 745790, cherry sunburst lacquer finish, laminated maple body, mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, black tolex hard shell case.
This is a very nice example of Gibson's classic ES-335TD made in the early 1970's but still with much of the feel of a late '60's instrument. It features a fairly mellow blended cherry sunburst finish, nicely blended with a subtler edge shading than some. Other features include the bound, block inlaid fingerboard, chrome-plated Tune-O-Matic bridge and tailpiece, two Gibson "Patent Number" humbucking pickups with the Gibson logo stamped in the covers, "amp"-style black molded knobs and the small white-and-purple rectangle label used in that period.
The three-piece mahogany neck has the volute and "Made in USA" stamp typical of '70s instruments, the nut width is quite narrow as it had been since late 1965. This guitar shows very littler play time and remains clean and original, showing only the most minor wear for 50 years of use. It remains a great-sounding and playing instrument, perhaps not from Gibson's more esteemed "Golden Era" but a serious player's guitar still.
Overall length is 41 3/4 in. (106 cm.), 16 in. (40.6 cm.) wide at lower bout, and 1 3/4 in. (4.4 cm.) in depth, measured at side of rim. Scale length is 24 3/4 in. (629 mm.). Width of nut is 1 1/2 in. (38 mm.).
This is a clean and original guitar showing just some very light wear overall. The knobs are correct style repro pieces, all else appears original. The finish is very well preserved with some minor scuffing overall and a few small dings and dents. The only really noticeable wear is some scuffing on the pickguard and bridge pickup ring. The chrome plating is very nice as well, with the most notable wear being to the top of the bridge. The frets and fingerboard show some very little wear and this is an excellent player, with the caveat that the neck is the very slim profile of this period. This 335 is a nice piece from Gibson's early 1970's arsenal, a fine feeling and sounding guitar housed in a nice modern HSC. Excellent + Condition.
