One of the Last of the "Great" 335s With a Factory Bigsby
1965 Gibson ES-335TD Custom Factory Bigsby.
This 16-inch-wide semi-hollow body guitar, with a solid maple block running lengthwise down the center, weighs 8.90 lbs. Laminated maple body with single binding on the top and back edges. One-piece mahogany neck with a nut width of just under 1 11/16 inches, a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches and a typical wonderful medium thick '64 profile. Bound Brazilian rosewood fretboard with 22 original jumbo frets and inlaid pearl block position markers. Headstock with inlaid pearl "Gibson" logo and pearl crown inlay. Two-layer black over white plastic, bell-shaped truss-rod cover secured by two screws. Serial number "263181" impressed into the back of the headstock. Individual double-line Kluson Deluxe tuners with double-ring Keystone plastic buttons, each stamped "D-169400 / Patent No." on the underside. Two "patent-number" humbucker pickups with outputs of 7.25k and 7.54k. Each pickup with a small rectangular black label on the underside with "Patent No. 2,737,842". Five-layer black over white plastic pickguard with beveled edges. Four controls (two volume, two tone) plus three-way pickup selector switch, all on lower treble bout. Black plastic bell-shaped knobs with white markings and metal tops. ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic retainer bridge with metal saddles and special custom-ordered factory Bigsby tailpiece. Rectangular three-layer, black over white plastic cover engraved in white "Custom Made" and secured by two screws covering the 'unused' stud-tailpiece screw holes. Oval orange label inside the bass f-hole with the style "ES-335TD" and serial number "263181" stamped in black. There is some very light finish checking and some very minor belt-buckle scarring on the back (nothing through the finish). There are a few minor and insignificant surface marks on the body. There are a few small surface chips on the back of the neck, the most noticeable being a 3/8 x 1/4 surface chip just behind the eighth fret and some checking and minor edge wear to the headstock face. With all that said this spectacular guitar, one of the very last of the great 335s, is in exceptionally fine (9.00) condition. Housed in its original Gibson black hardshell case with four latches and orange plush lining (9.00).
