USED Gibson Memphis / ES-335 Dot Reissue Figured Cherry [3.82 kg / Manufactured in 2009]

A Gibson ES-335 with figured dot inlays, manufactured in 2009.

The Electric Spanish (ES) series, beloved by many artists as the quintessential semi-hollow body guitar since its introduction in 1958, is a model crafted at the now-defunct Memphis factory. It features the classic look of the era—including dot position marks on the fingerboard and a short pickguard—and is equipped with “57 Classic” pickups.

This guitar’s appeal lies in its ’50s-style dot position marks and the wide range of sounds produced by the versatile ’57 Classic pickups.

Although it is currently equipped with Grover tuners, there are visible traces and screw holes indicating that Kluson tuners were previously installed. There are signs of wear (including discoloration, minor scratches and scuffs, scuffs and wipe marks, picking marks, buckle marks, and tarnish, pitting, or rust on metal parts and screws, among other cosmetic damage).

It was set up upon arrival (cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, string height adjustment, and fret leveling). The frets are at a height suitable for playing, and the truss rod has been tested to move 60 degrees in both directions with no issues.
