If you\u2019ve ever wondered what an ES-335 would sound like with P-90s, here is your answer.<\/p>\n
This instrument is a true rarity, with only two examples known to date.<\/p>\n
It is essentially a Gibson ES-330TD with a center block, or an ES-335TD fitted with P-90s, depending on how you choose to look at it. Finished in Sunburst and dating from late 1972, it bears serial number 745780 and features CTS potentiometers coded 137 9 42.<\/p>\n
This exceptionally rare example features a factory-original configuration with two P-90 pickups with black plastic covers rather than chrome ones, combined with an ES-335TD-style construction, including the same scale length and a center block. The last ES-330TD models produced from the late 1960s through 1972 shared this general construction, but without the center block. To date, only two documented examples of this center-block version are known, including this guitar.<\/p>\n
As you can see, this instrument has never been fitted with humbuckers and shows no signs of any routing or modification of that kind. This is a genuine factory-original configuration, most likely built as a special order.<\/p>\n
On a scale of 1 to 10, this 1972\u201373 Gibson ES-330TD in Sunburst finish is rated 8.5\/10 in its current condition.<\/p>\n
It will come with a certificate of authenticity issued by Arnaud Legrand, independent luthier and French vintage guitar expert, as well as a second certificate issued by our shop.<\/p>\n
Notes: non-original replacement tuners, normal signs of playing wear, and natural finish checking.<\/p>\n
Comes with its original hardshell case.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
