This is an instrument that's clearly been adored and played for a long time, and we think it's one of the best sounding ES-335s we've crossed paths with. It's even all original except for replaced tuners and a refret.
This guitar is in Good Vintage condition with a substantial amount of finish checking that's been intensified through playwear, and some areas of finish loss. It still looks gorgeous despite the wear, having faded slightly to a deep brownish maroon that's hard to catch on camera. The hardware shows a good amount of aging, and there is a repaired crack in the headstock that has been covered by a painted stinger.
Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
