Description

 Note: Last photo is taken in natural light and best represents the guitar’s true finish color.

 

  • Tobacco Sunburst is a sunburst finish characterized by a warm golden-yellow center that gradually transitions to a rich brown edge. This finish was relatively rare on early to mid‑1970s Gibson ES‑335 models, making examples like this quite special

  • Body: Semi-hollow, crafted from laminated maple/poplar/maple with a solid center maple block—typical ES‑335 build.

  • Neck: Set mahogany with a three-piece construction, featuring a bound rosewood fretboard and block inlays.

  • Hardware: Equipped with a trapeze tailpiece, ABR‑1 Tune-O‑Matic bridge, and double-ring Kluson tuners.

  • Electronics: Original “Patent Number” humbucking pickups and untouched electronics, delivering that true vintage tone.
