Gibson ES-335 1969 Iced Tea Burst

No sales tax for customers outside California.

Man, this Gibson ES-335 from 1969 is NICE!  This is an exceptionally clean, original example. One of just 1055 ES-335s that weren't cherry finished in '69.  Gibson also made 1142 cherry instruments that year.

The guitar is 100% original and it plays perfectly.  The weight is good too at 7 pounds, 11 ounces.

The original frets are in excellent shape.  The neck is straight.  We checked the truss rod to make sure there is room for neck relief adjustments in the future, if needed.

We were able to get the action set nice and low with 10-46 strings.  

A no-excuses, gorgeous piece in arguably the best color.

Very nice original case included.  One side of the handle has cracked and is taped on with duct tape.  A rescue handle - a leather replacement - is the way to go down the road.
