Sold: 1969 Gibson Es-335 TDC.
What's Hot
1969 Gibson Es-335 TDC
Condition: "Impossible". Must be seen.
Year. 1969. (See the picture). Gibson say it is "1967 or 1969" (from the serial). Which is daft when I sent them the picture below. It is clearly 1969. The guitar is 50 years old this year. Perhaps you are? I dare not use the phrase possible investment, but...just saying....I have priced the guitar carefully.
Serial number: 8911**
Two Owners. First owner in USA had guitar for 40 years from new. Second owner (me) for the last 10 years.
Guitar has been expertly refretted with slightly bigger wire by
one of the best refret guys north of Croydon. (We are blessed in the North West. But not so much for Gibson dealers.) And it sounds wonderful. Pickups read 7.47 (Neck), 7.63 (Bridge).
Totally Original and untouched (except for refret)
Has a "2" under the serial number. I have seen this before this on guitars that have no cosmetic flaws so maybe that is what it means.
Original Archcraft case from the factory. (60s Es buyers had a choice of a hard case with a yellow lining or a semi-hard Archcraft case with a red lining.) I will post a picture of the Gibson catalogue later which mentions the case options.
Gibson Instruction booklet, Gibson strings hang tag.
Price £4000. Collect from near Manchester. Apologies but I am unwilling to post and I hate driving. No trades. Sorry about that.
Polite request. Our ads may come up in search engines but I will only deal with forum regulars. Thanks.

Just wish I had the cash
John is a lovely guy too, and we spent quite a while chatting guitars and life.
Cheers John, It’s gone to a good home.
