The only changes to this guitar are a fairly recent professional re-fret and new nut, and Grover tuners were fitted at one point however exact period early 60s double ring/single line tuners are now back on. Otherwise the guitar retains all of its original plastics and hardware, including the nickel plated wired ABR-1 bridge, thumbwheels, aluminium stop-tail piece, studs, screws, and strap buttons.
The guitar presents in overall good shape, having some nice finish checking all over and a decent amount of play wear on the back of the neck and body. Despite the play wear the guitar has NO breaks or repairs. The frets play very well and show little play wear, and the guitar has been recently setup instore with 10s.
A well played and original example of '64 Gibson ES335!.
Includes a period 60s Lifton case with yellow interior.
