2009 Gibson Custom ES-335 Dot Reissue (Now Traded)

andy1839

*I've now parted with genuinely one if the very best guitars I've ever owned.  An incredible, inspirational guitar, I hope it's new owner is just as happy.  


My hollowbody needs are being met by my 6122 and '67 335 so this beaut is sadly on the block.
 
One in one out nowadays. 

It's a 2009 Gibson Custom Shop ES-335 Dot Reissue in Vintage Sunburst, with CoA and OHSC, nickel hardware and really is a great example of the Memphis factory's superb work.
Classic '57 pickups and Grover tuners.  
The neck is a nice comfy D shape, no baseball bat but it's no shredder either. 
Usually these are plaintops but this one has a nice subtle flame going on front and back, I'm certain it's not an actual flame top or plus top, as they're usually much more figured, but nevertheless it looks stunning. 
I'm not in any hurry to move this on as it play and sounds fantastic, every bit a 'grown-up' guitar. 

No breaks or issues, there is next to no wear on it, barring some pick marks on the pick guard. No buckle rash, or dents or scratches I can find. 
The case is in great condition, but the shroud has some wear where it's rubbed against the exposed string ends on the tuners.  

Ideally I'm after a PRS hardtail, Custom 22, Singlecut, McCarty or similar (although I could be swayed by another 513) or a Fender Tele heavy relic. Or strat relic. 
Or a Suhr. Or Anderson.  Or Gus. Or Parker. 
Hmmm.  Anything really!
Of course I'll listen to any other offers you might have but I'm not a fan of trems. 

Cash offers around £1750. 

Weight: 8lbs 11oz

Based in York, but happy to travel/meet within reason.

If you’d have said that this time last year you’d have had a deal, real pity.
