Gibson / ES-335 / 1962 / Red / Guitar
|
This is unusual. This guitar has a 1960 factory order number inside the body and the thinner body of a dot neck. But it has a 62 serial and block markers. Neck angle is a lot like a 58-60-it is very shallow and the bridge sits at the bottom of its range. A lot of folks believe the tone of these shallow neck angle 335s is superior. I'm one of them. The neck is larger than the typical "wide flat" 62 neck-more like an early 60. PAFs. Theories anybody? Well, when Gibson switched from dots to blocks, some owners were upset because they felt it made their dot necks look cheap. A number went back to Gibson and had their fingerboards replaced with the new fangled block markers. Maybe they stamped a serial number into the headstock (there weren't any in '60) and changed the label. Or maybe not. Maybe just a leftover 60 body. Has a super clean set of nickel pat pending Grovers but a set of Klusons could be put back on with no extra holes. Frets are original. Nice clean '62 Lifton case.
