This wonderful Gibson ES-335, built in 1970, is an absolutely wonderful sounding and playing guitar! And it is completely original, with the lone exception of the spring in the Bigsby which has been replaced. But don't fear, the original spring is included in the case! Action is wonderfully low and playable, the Bigsby works smoothly, and the pickups sound amazingly good. This guitar is highly desirable and will make someone very happy! To note: There is some finish checking, visible with light reflection. The guitar is well played, and the the finish has dulled behind the neck, making it very smooth and easy to play. The frets are in excellent shape. This is among the last of the Orange Label 335's. This guitar comes with its hard shell case which might be the original case.
