Seller's description

1963 Gibson ES-335 factory stoptail Very nice mid ’63 Gibson ES-335 in very good condition. It has a strong, vibrant sunburst with light play wear and some tasteful checking throughout. This is a perfect-playing guitar and a great-sounding early ES-335, with all the vibe and tone you’d expect from a ’63. This guitar was bought in 1987 at Charley’s Guitars in Dallas by a Belgian jazz musician, who owned and played it until now. Fun fact, the' 87 $800 receipt is with the guitar! The guitar is fitted with its original stoptail and ABR-1 bridge. Both original Patent Number pickups are present; the covers were removed in the past, as a previous owner preferred to play the guitar uncovered. All four pots are original and date to the 33rd week of 1963. The harness is fitted with two period-correct Cornell-Dubilier “Greenie” capacitors. While Sprague Black Beauties are commonly encountered in ES-335s from this period, the solder joints appear undisturbed and we cannot conclusively determine whether the capacitors are factory installed. The original tuners are back on the guitar; it previously had Grovers installed, with the extra holes now neatly closed. Comes with its original case black & yellow case.
