{"product_id":"10-2800005491722","title":"[SN 907195] USED Gibson USA \/ ES-335TD Sunburst Skinny Nut \u0026amp; Narrow Neck 1970–1972 MOD [10]","description":"Early '70s ES-335TD with Skinny Nut \u0026amp; Narrow Neck\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nA Gibson ES-335TD, believed to have been manufactured between 1970 and 1972, has arrived.\u003cbr\u003e \nThis particular guitar features a slim nut width (skinny nut, 1 9\/16 inches, 39.69 mm)—a specification typical of models from around mid-1965 through the early 1970s—and is characterized by its narrow grip size.\u003cbr\u003e \nFurthermore, the distinctive color of the sunburst finish from this era might bring to mind L.C.\u003cbr\u003e \nReflecting that crossover era, this guitar has been tastefully modified using genuine Gibson parts from that time.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nMain Modifications\u003cbr\u003e \n(1) Coil-tap configuration, adopted on models such as the ES-335 around 1977.\u003cbr\u003e \nPickups: Gibson Super Humbuckers designed specifically for coil-tapping, with Tarback-spec pickup base plates.\u003cbr\u003e \nCoil-tap switch: 2-position Switchcraft toggle switch.\u003cbr\u003e \nPotentiometer Dates: Bridge pickup volume (1377603, manufactured by CTS in the third week of 1976); bridge pickup tone (13775--, manufactured by CTS in 1975); the neck pickup’s potentiometer is difficult to read due to soldering work.\u003cbr\u003e \nThis can be interpreted as a modification using coil-tap parts for ES models that were sold as genuine replacement parts in the late 1970s. (Regarding the pot manufacturing dates, it is possible that they were surplus stock from a large inventory.)\u003cbr\u003e \n(2) Darkroom Blacklight Inspection: The entire neck, including the headstock, has been over-lacquered, with the neck joint serving as the boundary.\u003cbr\u003e \nThe serial number and “MADE IN U.S.A.” stamp are difficult to read due to the over-lacquer, but they are still recognizable.\u003cbr\u003e \nFurthermore, since no damage to the wood or traces of woodworking repairs can be confirmed, the work may have been intended to repair some simple damage to the finish.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nOverall Condition\u003cbr\u003e \nFrets: Believed to be the original frets. They appear to have been filed and reshaped several times and are on the smaller side, but this does not interfere with playability; however, this might be a good time for an upgrade, such as replacing them with frets from a mainstream modern brand that suits your playing style.\u003cbr\u003e \nEscutcheons and Toggle Switch Knobs: Areas where the finish was completely cracked have been repaired with adhesive.\u003cbr\u003e \nOther: There are traces of touch-ups on the headstock where the finish was marred by a guitar hanger. This could likely be repaired to an inconspicuous level with skilled professional repair work.\u003cbr\u003e \nThis instrument is over 50 years old.\u003cbr\u003e \nWhile there is some damage, such as scratches, due to its age, it appears to be in relatively good condition.\u003cbr\u003e \nThere are no signs of severe buckle marks, and I can’t help but feel this is a clean, excellent-condition player’s guitar.\u003cbr\u003e \nFor further details, please contact the guitar sales staff at our Nagoya Sakae store!\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nCondition Grade: B+: Some minor scratches, but no issues for normal use\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e \nSerial Number: 907195\u003cbr\u003e \nYear of Manufacture: 1970–1972\u003cbr\u003e \nCountry of Manufacture: USA\u003cbr\u003e \nCase: Hard case (designed for recent Epiphone semi-acoustic models; has minor exterior damage)\u003cbr\u003e \nAccessories: None\u003cbr\u003e \nWeight: 3.48 kg\u003cbr\u003e \nTruss Rod: No issues; checked up to 60 degrees to the left and right with no problems\u003cbr\u003e \nFret Wear: Within normal range; fret height is sufficient for playing\u003cbr\u003e \nString Height (Low String Side): 2.0 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nString action (treble side): 1.5 mm at the 12th fret\u003cbr\u003e \nNut width: 39.7 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 1st fret: 19.5 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nNeck thickness near the 12th fret: 24.9 mm\u003cbr\u003e \nScale: 628 mm (24.75\")\u003cbr\u003e \nRADIUS: 305 mm (12\")\u003cbr\u003e \nStrings at Setup: ERNIE BALL 2221 \/ .010-.046 set\u003cbr\u003e \nRepair and Maintenance: Cleaning, string replacement, truss rod adjustment, octave adjustment, action adjustment\u003cbr\u003e \nOther: Modifications available through professional repair services.
