The neck pickup is round and vocal without going muddy, the bridge has that laminated-maple snap and bite, and the middle position does the clean, airy chime semi-hollows are famous for. Unplugged it rings and sustains the way a good 335 should.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe neck is a comfortable, medium-round 1968 profile with the narrower 1 9\/16\" nut Gibson used in the late 60s, which a lot of players find faster than the earlier wide-nut necks. Frets have plenty of life, and it plays in tune up the neck with the original ABR-1 and trapeze.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlenty of late-60s 335s have changed tuners, swapped pickups, a repaired headstock or a stop-tail conversion. This one is the way it left Kalamazoo. Every photo is this guitar, and we are happy to send more of any area you want to see.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel: Gibson ES-335TD (thinline, double pickup), cherry finish, made in Kalamazoo, Michigan, USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSerial: 903359, impressed on the back of the headstock (1968 series)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBody: laminated maple top, back and sides, solid maple center block, double-cut thinline semi-hollow, bound top and back, f-holes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNeck: one-piece mahogany, long tenon (last year), 24.75\" scale, 1 9\/16\" nut, 22 frets, bound rosewood fingerboard, small pearloid block inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeadstock: crown inlay, Gibson logo, original Kluson Deluxe double-ring tuners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickups: two Gibson Patent Number humbuckers (T-top era), chrome covers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eControls: two volume, two tone, 3-way toggle, witch-hat knobs, original harness\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBridge and tailpiece: ABR-1 Tune-o-matic and trapeze tailpiece, chrome\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePickguard: short black 5-ply guard with bracket\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCondition\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExcellent for a 58-year-old guitar, and all original.
