Vanden / 335 / 1980's / Tobacco Sunburst / Guitar
Stunning example of furthering the form, Mike Vanden’s take on the classic Gibson semi hollow design is a head turner. Carved Curly Maple top and back and centre block, Ebony fretboard over a carbon fibre reinforced maple neck, PRS Dragon pickups, this guitar has it all with looks to match.
The guitar is in good condition with only wear on the frets and some wear to the body and neck. The tobacco burst really makes this guitar stand out.
The binding has not fared so well with quite a bit of cracking and a section of binding repair near the neck.
By the admission of the current owner, the guitar has been sitting in its case for a while so there are some signs of minor corrosion on some of the hardware though this is only slight.
The guitar comes with a hardshell case.
Sonically this guitar sounds great, amplified or not. There is an inherent sustain and sweet tone that translates to the amplified sound so wonderfully. Both pickups are well balanced making this guitar a joy to play.
Inspired by a classic, handmade in the UK, what more do you want...?
