Sold Epiphone Olympic, 1965. £1000 now £900  

Measures 41mm at the nut - so a bit slimmer than the pre 1965's (thanks lewis_grey for the research info) 

Amazing light weight rock n roll machine. 

Custom made Lollar p90 pickup. Made to the same size as the original melody maker pickup so no additional routing was needed. Original pickup included.

Non original bridge to improve stability. Original bridge included.

Not sure if it’s been re-fretted, probably because it plays really well.

Player grade vintage guitar. 

Non original hard case included.

I bought this about a year ago, as far as I can tell no breaks or cracks or repairs.  I'm not taking offers or trades as the only thing i wanted was a 335 and i think I've sorted one. 

Sheffield collection or meet up. 

Thanks

    I can't see them either, @Hick81 - I suspect because they are on Photobucket, and Photobucket doesn't want to be a free hosting platform any more.

    Can I suggest you try popping them up on Imgur or similar?

    Yeah, Photobucket was rubbish when I was uploading them. I’ll try imgur.

    No holes, I don't think it ever had a maestro. I'm in S10.

    If I didn't already have a 1965 Gibson Melody Maker, I would be all over this.

    Just to add, if someone wants to arrange a courier for collection (and take responsibility for the shipping, sorting insurance etc) I’ve got a load of bubble wrap and a box now so I can accomadate. Thanks

    wow... just got a 91 ES335 but this is as cool as it gets...maybe it will still be here for a while and I can sell a liver to buy this :)

  • Hick81Hick81 Frets: 122
    Yep, it really is. And much more versatile than a liver - does your liver  @selexis ;clean up beautifully when you roll back the volume?  

    I’m after a 335 myself and think I’ve found the one so this has to go, but im trying to sell some more bits and pieces so I might be able to afford to keep it.
