Up for sale, a 1973 Gibson ES-335 TDC in excellent condition and in perfect working order, complete with the original hardshell case. 100% original save for a single rewound pickup coil, this vintage ES-335 features a bold Cherry nitro lacquer finish and original pair of T Top humbuckers.
Acoustically big, barking, and bold, this ES-335 TDC balances the immediacy and snap of maple and the tonal breadth of the semi-hollow construction. The T Top pickups are a perfect compliment to the 335's construction and tonewoods, with a bridge pickup that is clear, defined, and plenty warm, delivering notable punch and honk. With both pickups engaged it's easy to dial in an ideal rhythm tone that has percussive cut and roundness, and with the neck pickup singled out, things fatten up nicely while retaining sweet treble articulation. Weighing 7lbs 5oz, this ES-335 TDC has been professionally setup here at Mike & Mike’s Guitar Bar with 10-46 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.
