This is an awesome vintage ES-335 with tons of character! It was refretted, hardtailed, and given a new Tune-O-Matic bridge by the experts at Portland Guitar Works to help it stay in tip top shape, and it's now ready to join you on your musical journey. Aside from the bridge, tailpiece, and frets, this guitar is all original.
In Very Good Vintage condition for its age with a good bit of play wear, most notably some nicks on the headstock and an area of finish loss on the back. But we all know these are the signs of a much-loved and played instrument, plus a few scrapes always up the cool factor a bit!
Freshly inspected and set up in-house by our esteemed Guitar Tech.

NOTE TO OUR VALUED CUSTOMERS:
We want you to be happy with your purchase and we try to represent the condition of all used and vintage guitars as accurately as possible in our listings. Every used guitar shows some signs of play wear and vintage models even more so. We call out all areas of damage or unusual wear, and describe the overall condition based upon what is "normal" for the age of the instrument. Expect to see minor dings, finish checking, or other evidence of normal use and aging which may not be captured by photography or explicitly mentioned in the listing.
We recognize that everyone has their own personal standard of what constitutes acceptable wear and tear. If play wear is especially critical for you, please contact us to ask any questions you may have. Your satisfaction is of paramount importance to us.
