ES-335 PRO
- double cutaway semi-hollow body, arched maple top and back, maple sides, white top and back body binding, two unbound f-holes, set three-piece maple neck, 22-fret bound rosewood fingerboard with dot inlays, black headstock overlay with Gibson log and crown inlays, three-per-side vintage-style tuners, tune-o-matic bridge, stop tailpiece, raised black pickguard, two exposed Dirty Finger humbucker pickups, four black speed knobs (two v, two tone), three-way pickup switch, available in Antique Sunburst or Cherry Red finish, 16 in. body width, 24.75 in. scale, mfg. 1979-1981.
A very good example of a rather rare edition of the classic ES 335. The body does show some minimal signs of wear and use – some stand damage, and light buckle rash. The lacquer has worn thin on the 3 piece neck (with period correct volute). I suspect that the TP6 fine tuning tailpiece and Nashville bridge are later additions as they are not as aged as the rest of the metalwork, but it’s a good tailpiece and bridge, and I see no reason to change them. The case is a new Epiphone case that has been badged to resemble a Gibson Case. The case, like the tailpiece, is in excellent condition and I see no reason to change.
NB The pickups in this are the original very dynamic Gibson “T top” Dirty Fingers pickups – crisp and articulate and highly sought after.

POSH Guitars, UK 
Philip's Old Second Hand Guitars (POSH Guitars) Has arisen not only out of my indefatigable enthusiasm for all things wooden with strings, but also from my love of music and creativity.
I firmly believe in a Creator God , who in his creativity gave us a gift. That gift being music, and in our expression of music we give voice to our passion for God.
I am not a company, but I buy guitars of a high quality, use them for a while and then sell them on. Sometimes this allows me to make a small profit, and I shift that profit on into financing the supply of quality instruments for Christian Musicians who are actively working in a recognised Church fellowship.
In this regard I'm happy to announce that Harvey Gerlitz has allowed me to distribute his Guitar Care Products in the UK, and hopefully through these establish a finance base to expand this mission.
In addition to resourcing Christian worship and creativity, 10% of any profits will be automatically passed on to financing Christian work in Africa, building orphanages to care for the victims of the AIDS epidemic there.
All items purchased will be despatched within 24 hours of received payment. Postage in the UK is by First Class postage, outside the UK it's by Air Mail.
