A discontinued iteration of the ES-335 platform, this guitar captures many finer points of a circa 1959-62 ES-335 including dot inlay on the bound rosewood fingerboard, rounded \"Mickey Mouse\" ear body horns, and a pair of Tim Shaw PAF humbuckers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeighing 8lbs 11oz, tonewoods include figured curly maple semi-hollow body construction with a maple center block, paired with a particularly fast feeling one-piece mahogany 'blade neck' and a particularly dark, tight-grained rosewood fretboard. There was something special going on at Gibson in the early ‘80s: much like the guitar itself, the Tim Shaw PAF humbucker pair represents Gibson's first, and arguably one of their best, attempts at capturing the tonal intricacies of their late '50s humbucker design. Offered for only a few short years in the '80s, the Shaws are designed with unoriented, rough cast Alnico V magnets, plastic spacers, and poly-coated wire, achieving the harmonic complexity, sensitivity to picking dynamics, and tonal clarity of the original PAF. This ES-335 “Dot” has been professionally set up here at Mike \u0026amp; Mike’s Guitar Bar with 11-49 strings, low action, and accurate intonation.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNeck Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Wood: Mahogany\u003cbr\u003e- Shape: 'Blade neck' (very slender C), measuring .785” 1st fret, .905” 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e- Fretboard: Rosewood, dot inlay\u003cbr\u003e- Frets: Medium jumbo, no wear\u003cbr\u003e- Scale Length: 24 3\/4”\u003cbr\u003e- Nut: 1 11\/16”\u003cbr\u003e- Tuners: Grover Rotomatics\u003cbr\u003e- Serialization: Eight-digit stamp dates to 1986\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBody Specs:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e- Wood: Curly maple (maple centerblock)\u003cbr\u003e- Pickups: Tim Shaw PAF humbucker x2\u003cbr\u003e- Controls: Volume x2, Tone x2, three-way pickup selector\u003cbr\u003e- Hardware: Nashville Tune-o-matic bridge, stopbar (nickel-plated)\u003cbr\u003e- Plastics: Five-ply black pickguard, black bonnet knobs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe gloss Vintage Sunburst nitro lacquer finish highlights figuring in the curly maple top and back, with subtle vertical checking throughout.
