Sold 1967 Gibson ES-355

CMW335

Ok Fretboarders another chance for someone to pick up this beauty. You may have noticed I have a circle of friends who get hit hard by GAS and I am now being offered this back for one of my guitars in a px deal. Trouble is as much as I love this guitar I need an acoustic and am specifically after a 50s/ early 60s J200.

Looking for £6000 ono will consider cash heavy trades but must comfortably equate to £6k if it’s a trade deal. Below is the original unedited ad as per classified rules but above is the new ask for sale or trade.

Sudden change in employment status forces this one rather than GAS... I knew a NGD thread would curse it somehow, genuinely gutted  

Ok 1967 Gibson ES-355 which is absolutely stunning, pictures speak for themselves I believe. All original including finish except for changed guard and wired to mono. Original stereo wiring and guard included although the guard is broken and not fit for use. Excellent condition for its age, finish wear consistent with age as well tarnishing to hardware which is also visible in pics. Black lights perfectly.

Original Hard Shell Case

NB I stated this is 1968 in my NGD thread but since have found the serial seems to date to 67 on other more accurate sites than guitar project. Little difference either way but thought I would call out here rather than editing the NGD thread.

Not considering trades as you will imagine from my reason for sale

£6000 


 And now doubling down as I chase another guitar

1960 Gibson Les Paul DC Junior


No neck or heel breaks. 

Has had a humbucker fitted, but now back to original spec including the original dog ear P-90 which covers the minor mod done to the rout.

Has also had Grovers fitted, but now back to originals with holes slightly visible and only other thing to note is a refret

Weight 6.8lbs!! 

Comes in an aged lifton reissue case

£4500 Now £3950

A crazy amount of ‘want’ going on in my head, someone save me! Amazing guitar, best of luck with the sale!

CMW335

Thanks @jimmyguitar a lot of “want to keep” going on in mine  

Needs must on this occasion unfortunately

What a beauty ! I have the exact same one from 1967 also (without varitone). Here some pics : https://imgur.com/a/DZ8ymzU

I'm being curious, would you PM me what's the serial number of your ?

Anyway, my advice for what it worthes : don't sell this !

selexis

This is as good as it gets!

CMW335

Thanks @JuliusPuech ; both stunners and it’s not completely a voluntary sale but I am still hopeful I have the option to keep

CMW335

Bump will now listen to px options ideally cash heavy and whatever comes in the way will need to be something I am confident I can sell quickly for the balance. USA Gibson or Fender ideally but WHY

roberty

Congrats on the sale

CMW335

@Roberty Thanks, a real wrench to let that one go but can’t justify 2 high value guitars when unemployed 

Just the 81 Les Paul Heritage to sell which came in px for the 355 and hopefully can hold onto my “keeper”

Hey ! This same guitar is being sold at £6500 on eBay... Is that real or a scam? 

CMW335

@Jimihendrix1987 It’s real, seller is the guy I sold to and a member on here
