Gibson ES-335 TDC (1966) – Vintage Cherry

Gibson ES-335 (1966) – Patent No. Pickups – Cherry – Very Good Condition

This 1966 Gibson ES-335 is a beautiful vintage example of Gibson’s legendary semi-hollow electric guitar. Finished in classic Cherry, it has developed the natural aging, lacquer checking and playing wear expected from a genuine 1960s Gibson.

The semi-hollow construction with a solid center block gives the ES-335 its famous combination of warmth, resonance, sustain and clarity. It is exceptionally versatile, delivering everything from warm clean and jazz tones to blues, classic rock and smooth overdrive.

A major highlight of this example is its pair of Gibson Patent No. humbucking pickups, highly regarded for their open response, clarity, dynamics and unmistakable vintage Gibson character.

The guitar remains in very good vintage condition. There are natural signs of age and use, including lacquer checking, scratches and finish wear. Importantly, there are no cracks, and the guitar remains structurally sound.

A fantastic player’s vintage ES-335 with desirable Patent No. pickups, genuine 1960s character and a beautifully aged Cherry finish.
