Guitar Additional Info


Description
The ES-335 evolved quickly in its first few years and the 1959 ES-335TD represents the second stage of this seminal guitar.

A bound joins other historically correct details such as the correct "Mickey Mouse ears" body shape.
Although the ES-335 kicked off with the "dot neck" in 1958, many players have always preferred the "block neck" version of the early '60s.

The beautifully re-created 1963 ES-335TD includes the correct body shape with narrower horns and rolled fingerboard binding for a soft playing feel.
