What's Hot
1966 Gibson ES335 Stunning 1966 es335. Exceptional condition, very vibrant sunburst , barely faded at all. Plays like a dream and the original
PAT No. humbuckers sound insanely good, some of my favourite pickups ever.
No breaks or issues of any kind, just very light wear and the nice checking you expect to see on an old Gibson. Has the wide/low frets of the era, which are in extremely good shape. A very well sorted guitar.
All the correct features and all original to ‘66. Wide bevel guard, ABR-1 bridge with nylon saddles, Kluson Deluxe tuners, reflector knobs etc. Comes with original case.
I love this era of 335, and just bought another in Cherry. They both sound equally amazing, but I just wanted a red 335.
The narrower neck of this era just feels like a Fender neck to me, this one gets really chunky as it goes up and one of the best profiles I have ever felt. And as for the trapeze on this era of guitars, I honestly prefer it. They sound better unplugged (this one is very very loud and resonant), and have a slight full hollow type tone and it just seems to make sense from a physics point of view with the pressure straight down on the bridge and the tension running to both ends of the guitar.
A great guitar, was tempted to keep alongside my other ‘66, but that’s even madder than buying the red one in the first place…

Bump for a couple of vintage beauties. Getting hard to find guitars like this that have not been messed with.
