1968 Gibson ES-355 TDSV - Cherry  / Stereo incl. orig. Gibson Hardshell case

Wonderful 1968 Gibson ES-355 TDSV in Cherry finish in very good condition. This guitar is one of the best sounding ES-models we had in a long time - really an exceptional good instrument! There is only some minor playwear, mostly on the backside of the body and typical wear on the gold-plated parts, but no breaks, repairs or other hidden damages. The finish faded to a light cherry which give it a very tasty vintage look. It's equipped with a factory Maestro-Lyre Vibrato tailpiece which is stable and actually works great. The tortoise pickguards of those guitars are often very fragile and brittle and this one has been repaired at some point. One volume pot has been changed, everything else is original. The two original Gibson "Pat.Nr.-decal" humbucking pickups have outputs of 7,15K and 6,66K. It has the factory Varitone with Stereo-outlet for multible aditional sound-variations. Comes in orig. black Gibson (Lifton!) hardshell case with yellow lining.
