Gibson / ES-335 TD / 1960 / Sunburst / Guitar
Wicked, original mid - late 1960 Gibson ES-335 TD with original factory Zebra PAF's. Yes, if you feel so inclined you could raid these PAF's and slap them in your Les Paul for the ultimate cool factor but we actually think they are sitting quite pretty exactly where they are. And if they offend you can easily put some covers on...
Serial number A 34047 has a small guard, reflector knobs and black case. It has the transitional feel of neck that is similar to a late '59 not as skinny as the 61's and with a full size 43mm nut width.
It has been re-fretted which is a very decent job, it has had other tuners fitted at some stage that have left some tell tale rings on the headstock face but original single line, double ring original Klusons are on there now.
No breaks or repairs, no finish touch ups, no cracks or any other structural issues and a great player. Has been kept by it's last owner since the late 80's who bought if from Normans Rare Guitars during a trip to California in around 1988.
It sounds great, nice and strong, original PAF's that have never been rewound and of course look ace. Last owner bought it exactly as you see it, with the covers off and as you can see, it certainly looks the part like that...
Pretty rare to see a nice set of original Zebras on a good ES-335 as most of them by now have been tomb raided by the PAF monkeys.
