This example captures that familiar semi-hollow magic perfectly, with a lively, rootsy acoustic response and the punch, warmth and bite of its original Patent Number humbuckers.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe finish is a real highlight. The Sunburst remains strong and vibrant, with very little fading and only the lightest signs of age. Overall the guitar presents exceptionally well for a 54 year old example with the chrome hardware also in excellent condition, with very little wear to the plating.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe slim neck is in great shape and feels comfortable and familiar in the hand, with easy upper fret access as you would expect from an ES-335. It has been refretted, and the work has left the guitar playing beautifully. Nut width measures 40.1mm, with a neck depth of 20.8mm at the 1st fret and 24.1mm at the 12th fret.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"isSelectedEnd\"\u003e\u003cspan\u003eElectrically, everything looks correct, with a pair of unopened Patent Number sticker humbuckers reading 7.43k at the bridge and 7.48k at the neck. They are nicely balanced and deliver exactly what you want from a good 335: clear, warm and articulate, with plenty of chime and bite when pushed.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eA stunning example of a mahogany neck 1970s ES-335 TD, in excellent condition.
