Indicative of late ‘70s Gibson spec, this ES-335 is loaded with Tarback humbuckers, boasting an additional factory two-way global coil tap switch on the treble-side cutaway. The Tarbacks are epoxy potted for excellent feedback rejection, working well with higher gain and still providing a sparkling, dynamic response. With both pickups engaged, it's easy to dial in an ideal rhythm tone that has just enough percussive cut and roundness, and with the neck pickup singled out, things fatten up nicely with a bold wooly sweetness. This ES-335TD weighs 8lbs, benefitting from a professional setup here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike's Guitar Bar with roundwound 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n-Wood: Maple (3pc)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Shape: Medium C, measuring .835” 1st fret, 1.015” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e\n-Fretboard: Rosewood, small block inlays\u003cbr\u003e\n-Frets: Medium jumbo, refret, no wear\u003cbr\u003e\n-Scale Length: 24 3\/4”\u003cbr\u003e\n-Nut: 1 9\/16”, bone (upgraded)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Tuners: Gibson Deluxe (double line, double ring)\u003cbr\u003e\n-Serialization: 00-prefix (1976)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\n-Wood: Maple, maple center block\u003cbr\u003e\n-Pickups: ‘Tarback’ humbucker x2\u003cbr\u003e\n-Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, three-way pickup selector, two-way coil tap switch\u003cbr\u003e\n-Hardware: Nashville bridge, trapeze tailpiece\u003cbr\u003e\n-Plastics: Four-ply black pickguard, pickup rings\/switch tips, witch hat knobs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\nThe three-tone Sunburst finish is exceptionally clean, with extremely limited checking on the cutaways and body edges.
