"Vintage guitars have the best vibe, but aren't they hard to handle in actual live shows and on set?" Many guitarists hesitate to reach for these prized instruments because of such concerns.
Since its birth in 1958, the ES-335 has been synonymous with the semi-hollow body guitar, producing countless legendary performances. Its center block construction achieves a solid-body-like vibration system while retaining an acoustic feel, delivering a sustain-rich tone beloved across genres from rock to jazz.
This instrument is a 1970-1975 ES-335TD. It features a slim, narrow neck (3-piece mahogany) with a 39.5mm nut width for high playability. Equipped with original numbered PAF pickups, it delivers nuanced, expressive tones that translate directly. Built to early 70s specifications with a partially hollowed center block, it offers a lightweight yet distortion-resistant sound. From rock-driven drive to sweet clean tones, this is a stage-ready instrument.
While it has some replacement parts, this adds to its appeal as a reliable workhorse for live gigs. It balances vintage sweetness and harmonic richness with a modern-player-friendly approachability. Highly recommended for musicians who believe "a vintage guitar is only worth its weight if you use it." This is not a collector's piece for display; it's for those seeking an instrument that shines in the heat of battle. A rare 70s vintage piece, likely from around 1973. Experience its rocking tone and playability firsthand.
