Got a Gibson ES-335 Dot in Plain Cherry 2008 model with the thinner 60's neck I believe, been my absolute pride and joy and I do love her, she's been played regularly as has been my main guitar up until late now and with that in mind it has picked up a few marks on the way. However i've moved across to a Gretsch Country Club and I have found my perfect sound and I begrudge having my Gibson sat there doing nothing because sonically they're quite different and I just prefer the single coil sound overall. So if you're looking for an absolute mint example of a 335 this probably isn't for you. Although i would still rate her a 7.5 out of 10 for condition.

Just to clarify there's a scratch on the front, it doesn't break the lacquer and it's not that noticeable in my opinion and wouldn't be glaringly obvious to any onlooker and of course there's a bit of buckle rash. Also the bridge and stoptail are a little tarnished from where I've had my hand leaning on it because I happen to be of the sweaty musician variety unfortunately, But nothing that affects the playability or setup of the guitar. For one of the more recent ones she plays exceedingly well and even more so since I had her set up professionally by Matt Bascetta Luthier. Check him out at[url="http://www.mjbluthier.co.uk/"]www.mjbluthier.co.uk[/url] and She now plays like absolute silk.

I can get pictures but it's taken on an iPhone so it's not the greatest camera. I'll be more than happy to anyone coming to see it as well and running it through the Twin or Orange I have here. I'm based on the Welsh (Best) side of Chester.

Really I'm only interested trades and would be looking at Gretsch (6120, Duo Jet, Penguins, White Or Black Falcons preferably with Dynasonic pickups but I am open minded especially if they've got TV jones') or Deluxe or Signature Fenders (Deluxe USA Strat, 72 Deluxe/Custom Teles, John Mayer, Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, David Gilmour ;-)) + cash adjustment).

I would be happy to hear offers around the £1300 mark for cash purchase :-)

Or if you've got some wild suggestions, I'm incredibly open minded and like a magpie so something shiny, to cure my madness please drop me a line.

Cheers for looking

Tim
