Description

I’m selling this brand new and VERY rare piece. I’m the first owner of the guitar and I got it only a few weeks ago! I own a big collection of guitars, and I already have a few semi hollow bodied guitars. Therefore I have decided to sell this beauty to gain funds for other cool projects.The guitar was purchased at Dijkmans Music in the Netherlands. Here is what they wrote about it:‘At Dijkmans Music we have joined forces with Gibson and have put together a series of unique guitars. This ES-335 is perhaps the crown prince of that. A historically correct 64'er with a Double Gold Top Dark Back finish of our choice. You don't see them like this often: an ES-335 with a chic Gold Top finish! You might expect that this Murphy Lab Gibson is primarily a showpiece, but nothing could be further from the truth. The sound of this '64 Custom Shop ES-335 is packed with character and is beautifully woody as you would expect from real vintage copies. ES-335 models are of course mainly known for that legendary neck pickup tone, but as with every copy of this caliber, the bridge pickup also sounds fantastic. In contrast to the warm, glowing neck pickup, the bridge pickup here also sounds open and bright with a hint of jangle. The medium-C neck profile is just right: not too thin and not too thick, with a top-quality Indian Rosewood fingerboard. This ES-335 features Light Murphy Aging with light discolorations and cracks in the nitrocellulose lacquer. Very tasteful! Comes with chic Custom Shop Hardshell Case.’ Body Wood: 3-Ply Maple/Poplar/Maple Body finish: Nitrocellulose Lacquer Murphy Lab Light Aged Number of Frets: 22 Scale Length: 24.75" Neck Wood: Solid Mahogany Neck Shape: Authentic '64 Medium C-Shape Fretboard Wood: Indian Rosewood Fretboard Inlays: Small Block Cellulose Nitrate Bridge: ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic Tuners: Kluson Single Line, Double Ring Hardware Type: Nickel; Light Aged Pickups: 2x Custombucker Alnico 3 (Unpotted) Controls: 2 Volume, 2 Tone; CTS® 500 k Audio Taper Potentiometers, Paper-in-Oil Capacitors Case: Black/Yellow Custom Shop Hardshell
