Gibson ES 335 Dot Sunburst 2005

Description

A  Memphis Gibson ES 335 Dot in a stunning tobacco sunburst. This wonderful instrument was recently acquired from its original owner who bought it new in 2005 from a well known London guitar shop. It has spent most of it’s life in the case due to the owner seldom playing guitar. From an era when Gibson production was putting out top quality models this one is a shining example of the excellent guitars from this time. It has a light flame on the top and some on the back too. Hugely playable and it sounds fantastic. This legendary instrument has been seen in the hands of rockers, bluesmen, indy of course, jazzers. A hugely versatile guitar with tones you can only really get from a 335. Far superior to the current Gibson USA production 335s and is sure to hold its value very well and the years continue on!
