Gibson ES-335TDN with Custom Factory Split Parallelogram Inlays and Bigsby Natural 1960
This guitar was a custom order from Gibson in 1960 and was part of the famous Chinery Collection. The previous owner acquired the guitar from the auction of the Chinery Collection. An official book documenting the collection comes as part of the sale of this guitar. The guitar is incredibly clean and well kept for its age. Â
SummaryBody: Semi-hollow laminate maple bodyÂ
Neck: Mahogany neck with the slim 60' profile neck shape, 1 11/16” wide nut, 12” radius, and split parallelogram inlays, Mahogany neck with custom-ordered Brazilian rosewood split parallelogram inlay fretboard.
Pickups/Hardware: Kluson Deluxe tuners, two humbuckers (rated at 7.7kOhms in the neck and 8.0k in the bridge), three-way pickup selector switch, independent volume and tone controls, Bigsby. The Bigsby is original to the guitar. Factory pearl inlays cover the factory tailpiece holes. Original PAF pickups and original wiring harness with black beauty caps.
Cosmetic Condition: There are some fine checking lines throughout the finish but overall the guitar is clean for its age and one gorgeous piece of vintage gear. The body itself is in great shape with some light play wear and minor pitting on the pickup covers but no serious damage. The birdseye maple back is also very clean with some very slight signs of buckle rash in the lacquer but no chips or heavy wear to be found. The neck lacquer has some nice uniform checking lines as well as a small piece worn away behind the 9th fret but otherwise it is nice and smooth and feels great to play. The headstock has a few small chips and dings around the edges but no signs of cracks or repairs. This ES-335TDN is truly a unique find!
Playability: The strings are nice and low, play great, and ring out clearly across the board.
Modifications/Repairs: The hardware is all original except for the tuners. The original tuners are included in the case, but the tips are deteriorating. There is a ground wire added from the treble side bridge post, under the pickguard, and into the f-hole. The ground wire is not soldered in place; it is not permanent.
