WTT Gibson Murphy Lab ES-335 ULA '59 Reissue Natural TRADE PENDING

What's Hot
Norlin4lifeNorlin4life Frets: 338
edited May 2023 in Guitars £
The past few years I was on a quest to find the perfect ES-335. This (2022) '59 I'm putting up for trade is number ten I think, and the closest I managed to get to perfection. There's lots to go wrong with a 335 but when it's right, it's almost unbeatable. This one has a spot on neck angle, wonderful acoustic resonance, a perfect Goldilocks '59 rounded mid to slim C shaped neck, is under 8lb's, has a correctly drilled ABR1, a dark fretboard with no tooling marks and beautiful wood grain. The Murphy Lacquer is quite different to what's on a normal Reissue and feels hard and smooth under the touch (no stickiness). The only ageing here is lacquer checking so no dents or dings. The ML guitars also feature specially rolled boards which you don't get on a VOS.

So why the trade? I bought an ES-359 at the same time and have come to prefer the smaller body size. It doesn't look as cool, but it's more practical for me I think. 

The 335 is as close to mint as you can get and comes with all COA's, case candy and the nice reissue Lifton case. 

I'm looking for a trade only, and putting the trade value around £4500 as these are just under 6 grand in the shops usually. Something nice from PRS, Collings or something else interesting perhaps... Try me! Located in Shropshire and happy to drive an hour in any direction to meet.

TRADE NOW PENDING

    Anyone fancy a stunning 335? For a nice PRS wood library maybe?

    Not a wood library but I do have a 594 Artist Pack that I'm looking to trade.

    Jesus Murphy, would you look at that! What value do you put on that roughly?
