USED Gibson / ES-355TD Walnut 1979 [03]

The ES-3355 was first produced in 1958 as the top model of semi-acoustic guitars such as the ES-335, and has more luxurious features such as split diamond inlays, multiple binding, stereo output, and gold parts.

A few years ago, GibsonCustom released Chuck berry's signature ES-355, which was based on Chuck berry's beloved 1978 ES-355, but this time, we are pleased to present a good condition ES-355TD that was manufactured in 1979, a very similar year. ES-355TD is now in stock!

The wood materials of this guitar are 3-piece maple neck with volute, ebony fingerboard, and maple body, as it was made in this period.

Two "engraved numbered PAF" PUs with 1979 date are installed.

The PUs have low resistance and produce a vintage sound with a withered atmosphere.
Even when the gain is turned up, the sound is not easily destroyed, and each note can be heard clearly with a good sense of separation, making it ideal for rock 'n' roll and blues!

The original Gibson TP-50 was probably equipped with a Maestro Vibe Roller, and there are some holes around the end pins that have been filled in.
Currently, the guitar has been replaced with a gold Gibson TP-6, which gives the impression of matching the guitar's atmosphere.
The bridge is an original Nashville bridge made in Germany.

The pots are covered and the date is not readable, but the rear tone has been replaced as there is no cover on the rear tone only.
The toggle switch and switch knobs have been replaced, and the four control knobs have probably been replaced with different ones from an older model.

Unfortunately, the pickguard is broken into pieces and cannot be installed.

There is a vertical line of cracks next to the PU where the pickguard is usually installed, and the paint is peeling on a part of the body back.
There are also some scratches, dents, scratches on metal parts, and some tarnishing, but considering the age of the instrument, it is in good condition.

It is very easy to play and has a good sound. There are some parts that have been replaced, but the overall condition is good and recommended for collection.

ES-355s of this year do not often appear on the market, so if you are looking for one, please take this opportunity to consider it!
