A bucket list guitar for many, unknown to only a few the Gibson ES-335 holds a special place in popular music. Whether it's in the hands of B.B. King, Chuck Berry, Noel Gallagher, Larry Carlton, Johnny Marr or Eric Clapton (and the list could go on...) the 335 has been put to great use and is featured on so many beloved songs and solos. Originally released in 1958 as Gibson's first thin line semi hollow bodied guitar it quickly became a favourite for it's warm articulate tones. This is the guitar that has featured on literally every style of guitar music, you name it; jazz, blues, soul, rock, pop, indie, country, reggae - what am I missing? It's on that too! 

This one is from 1972 (Norlin era) and features two embossed P.A.F. humbuckers. The guitar is in great condition and aside from a small chip in the finish at the neck join in the upper horn there are few marks on it. The nitro finish is checking nicely and the white binding is turning a mellow yellow. The frets show signs of wear but there is plenty more life in the fine piece. Once owned by Florida rock institution Outlaws, this guitar has indelible rock heritage in it's pores and is looking for a new owner to unleash the monster within. 

Whatever style you play this old girl will see you right.
