1979 Gibson ES-335 Vintage Semi-Hollow Guitar Wine Red, T-Tops & 1 11/16" Nut w/ Hangtags & Case
1979 Gibson ES-335 Vintage Semi-Hollow Guitar Wine Red, T-Tops & 1 11/16" Nut w/ Hangtags & Case
Up for sale, a 1979 Gibson ES-335TD in excellent, 100% original condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case and hangtags. Boasting an uncommon feature set for a late '70s ES model, this 335 has a full 1 11/16" nut width, T Top humbuckers (as opposed to Tarbacks), a factory stoptail, and a traditional control layout eschewing the coil tap seen on most 335s of the era.
Tonally, this Gibson delivers the goods, and the bridge pickup is clear, defined, and plenty warm, with a surprising amount of chime and punch. With both pickups engaged it's easy to dial in an ideal rhythm tone that has just enough percussive cut and roundness, and with the neck pickup singled out, things fatten up nicely, yet stay clear.
With semi-hollowbody maple body construction and a three-piece maple neck, this Gibson has a warm and full-sounding natural acoustic tone with the added articulation and snappy note attack of the maple neck. This ES-335 weighs 8lbs 1oz, professionally setup here at Mike & Mike's Guitar Bar with roundwound 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
Neck Specs:
-Wood: Maple (three-piece)
-Shape: Slender C, measuring .790” 1st fret, .980” 12th fret
-Fretboard: Rosewood, small block inlays
-Frets: Medium jumbo, no wear
-Scale Length: 24 3/4”
-Nut: 1 11/16”
-Tuners: Gibson “Flower”
-Serialization: Eight-digit stamp dates to ‘79
-Factory Markings: “Authorized Instrument Nihon Gibson” sticker on back of peghead
Body Specs:
-Wood: Maple
-Pickups: T Top humbucker x2, Pat # baseplates
-Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, Three-way pickup selector
-Hardware: Nashville bridge, stopbar
-Plastics: Four-ply black pickguard, witch hat knobs
The nitro lacquer Wine Red finish is dark and rich, some vertical checking on top at the upper bout, with cosmetic wear limited to light pick scuffing on top, a small area of buckle rash central to the lower bout, and some nicks and finish scratches from careful use. The gloss on the neck profile is smooth and clean, free of palm wear with just a couple shallow marks that are practically imperceptible to the palm.
The original hardshell case and hangtags are included.
