Gibson Custom Shop Memphis '63 ES-335 Block with Bigsby & Tom Holmes Pickups 2008 - Cherry

Product Description

Here we have a nice 2008 Gibson Custom Shop '63 ES-335 Block with factory Bigsby. This guitar was built in Memphis and is loaded with a set of Tom Holmes humbuckers.

Features include a maple body, maple center block, mahogany neck, and rosewood board. It has block inlays, double ring deluxe tuners, and an ABR-1 bridge with Tusq saddles. Comes stock with a Bigsby vibrato tailpiece and Custom Made plaque.

The guitar is in excellent condition. Clearly the pickups are upgraded and the saddles appear to be Tusq rather than nylon. There is a little light play wear on the pickguard. The metal parts show subtle oxidation. There are a few light surface scratches and signs of handling, but ultimately the guitar shines like new.

This one weighs 8lbs 15oz. The neck measures .810 to .910 at the 1st and 12th. It has a medium C shape about it, not too deep, but with a nice full shoulder. The guitar is resonant with nice sustain. It has a warmer mid-range than most with nice color and overtones. It plays easily up and down the neck with class ES sounds.

Ships in the original hardshell case and includes the COA and truss rod tool. The original pickups are not included.
