USED Gibson USA / ES-335 Dot Vintage Sunburst 1988 [10]

1988 ES-335 in stock for a reason!

Body is laminated maple with maple center block. At this time, it is still plain top and has a vintage look. Its coloring is also lighter around the perimeter, which is also cool. The neck is mahogany and the fingerboard is rosewood. The neck shape is generally thin. The PU is a 57Classic, which was replaced with an engraved humbucker or foundation type humbucker in this period.

The body has wipe scratches, scuffs, dings and cracks. The pickguard has picking scratches with an overall fine cloudy look. There is a small ding dotted on the side of the jack. There are also scuffs and scratches throughout the body. There are age-related cracks on the body and neck binding. There are scratches and bumps on the sides of the body, mainly on the lower part of the body. There are buckle scratches on the body back, and there are scratches around the strap pins on the neck side. The back of the neck has some small dents and minor paint peeling. There is a crack about 4.5 cm long on the back of the nut, and there are traces of glue that has been poured. There are scratches and clear peeling around the head. The truss rod cover has been replaced. Each hard wear has some deterioration of the plating and some smudges.

The neck is in good condition, and the truss rod can be adjusted to tighten or loosen, although there is not much left to tighten. There are no noticeable string marks on the frets, and about 70% of the frets are left. Currently, the string height is adjusted at about 2.0mm on the 12F 6th string side and about 1.5mm on the 1st string side.

Overall, there are signs of use commensurate with the age of the instrument. Also, the PU has been replaced with a 57Classic, which is a later box standard PU, which is not so negative. The truss rod has been checked. The truss rod is tightened considerably, and a washer is used to tighten the truss rod. However, the washers and the half-moon washers that have been tightened are digging into the wood and have reached outside the truss rod nut washer cavity, or perhaps as a result, there is a crack on the back of the nut. Please understand that there is no warranty because of this condition. But don't worry! The sound is still there and the playability is secured!
