Gibson / ES355 TDSV Walnut / 1974 / Guitar

Gibson's Electric Spanish (ES) models were very popular after their introduction with the ES-355 as the centerpiece of the series. The body and neck are multiple bound, the f-holes are also bound, the ebony fretboard contains mother-of-pearl Block-inlays and the large '70s head includes a mother-of-pearl 'Split Diamond' inlay, which gives this ES-355 a luxurious and romantic look. The hardware is gold plated and faded through the years, so that this dominant color mixes perfectly in the 'walnut' finish. The pickups are so-called original Patent Numbers, which have been introduced by Gibson as successor to the P.A.F. They are controlled by individual volume and tone knobs, a Varitone switch and they are configured in Stereo. This Gibson ES355 TDSV was made in 1974 and is in very good condition. This very clean specimen has some slight traces of wear over the top and a bit more on the back, including two blemishes and a light rash in the paint layer. The right horn has a padded spot, which probably has a switch. This ES-355 is very resonant, great playability and sounds great.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
