Gibson Certified Vintage 1970 Gibson ES-335, Cherry

1970 Gibson ES-335, Serial Number 771905

The ES-335™ has been a cornerstone of the Gibson lineup since its 1958 introduction, a “best of both worlds” instrument that combines the sustain and feedback resistance of a solidbody with the warmth and resonance of a hollowbody. By 1970, the ES-335 had earned its reputation as a workhorse model celebrated for its tonal versatility, outstanding playability, and consistent build quality.

This Gibson Certified Vintage 1970 ES-335 is a remarkably clean example finished in rich Cherry nitrocellulose lacquer. It shows minimal checking, light nicks and dings, and very little overall wear. The original bridge (included in the case) was slightly sinking, and the saddles had been slotted twice, so a Gibson Custom Historic ABR-1 wired bridge was installed. The guitar’s fretboard was also planed and re-fretted, and a new bone nut was installed at Gibson Repair & Restoration. With its clean hardware, full Cherry color, and highly sought-after T-Top humbuckers, this ES-335 is a standout specimen that’s ready to continue its legacy with a new owner.

Ships in its original black and gold Gibson hardshell case and includes a Certificate of Authenticity, Letter of Appraisal, and new Limited Lifetime Warranty.
