Gibson ES-335 Dot Walnut 2001

Gibson ES-335, walnut, made in USA 2001. My oh my, what a looker. The 335 is the most iconic archtop guitar model ever made, finding favour with all manner of excellent players from Clapton to Grohl. This one dates to 2001, at which time Gibson were doing some very solid work. When this arrived in store, the thing that really struck me was the figuring: up close, the maple is gorgeous. The rich walnut hue looks lush, and with all that detail available to the watchful eye... chef's kiss. The pickups are Gibson's Classic 57 humbuckers, which are my preferred Gibson take on the PAF-style pickup. They're bright and sparkly up top, with a wide open complex midrange and an assured, tuneful low end. You get a great balance of articulation and smoothness, snappiness and creaminess. The neck is a moderate C style shape, which is very agreeable. This is a wonderful guitar, someone is going to be so pleased. Is it you?
