This Guitar:

Weight: 7 lbs 11.2 oz

Serial Number: 634882-2

This instrument is in very good vintage condition. It was made in Kalamazoo, Michigan in 1971. It is marked as a factory second, but after 54 years it's difficult to determine what made them mark this as a second. This guitar has a great feel in the hand and produces the warm, jazzy tones that made the ES-335 famous! There are a couple of nicks on the back of the neck and along the top of the headstock. The side of the guitar near the tailpiece has a couple of small cracks. There is some finish wear on the back of the lower horn. There are minor play scratches on the pickguard and body, but overall this guitar looks quite clean. It plays well up and down the neck and all electronics and hardware function as they should. All components are original.

Includes original Gibson hardshell case in excellent vintage condition.
