1972 Gibson ES-335 TD Vintage Semi-Hollow Guitar Ebony w/ Embossed T Tops & Case, Gord Miller
1972 Gibson ES-335 TD Vintage Semi-Hollow Guitar Ebony w/ Embossed T Tops & Case, Gord Miller
Up for sale, a 1972 Gibson ES335 TD in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. Retaining the original hardware and electronics, including a set of T Tops with the short-lived Gibson-embossed pickup covers, this ES-335 has been refinished in gloss Ebony nitro lacquer by Gord Miller of GM Vintage Restorations.
This Gibson delivers the goods, with the big barking acoustic voice, yielding the immediacy and snap of maple, and the open, airy quality of the semi-hollow construction. The T Top pickups are a perfect compliment to the 335's construction and tonewoods, with a bridge pickup that is clear, defined, and plenty warm, offering a surprising amount of chime. With both pickups engaged it's easy to dial in an ideal rhythm tone that has percussive cut and roundness, and with the neck pickup singled out, things fatten up nicely, yet stay clear. Weighing 7lbs 13oz, this ES335 TD has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.

Gord Miller’s finish work and restorations are widely considered to be among the best in the business, and this Ebony nitro lacquer gloss presents like the genuine vintage article, with sparingly little cosmetic wear beyond a few faint finish scratches. The nitro gloss on the neck profile is flawless.
The original Gibson-branded black tolex hardshell case with blue plus interior is included, along with the GM Restorations tag.
