{"product_id":"854143","title":"Gibson VINTAGE ES-335TDW '75 Stop Tailpiece Modify","description":"Since its introduction in 1958, the ES-335TD has reigned as a leading semi-acoustic guitar, not only for Gibson but for the entire guitar market. Its appeal lies in its user-friendly sound, suitable for a wide range of applications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e This time, we have an ES-335TD in walnut color from around 1975, during the mahogany neck era. It's an interesting instrument that has been modified with a stop tailpiece.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【body】\u003cbr\u003e The overall weight is approximately 3.45 kg. The body is made of maple. It features the semi-hollow construction familiar to Gibson semi-acoustic guitars, with a center block and a width of about 16 inches. The change from the original trapeze tailpiece to a stop tailpiece is now a standard feature, aiming for a more rock-oriented tone. Walnut brown, one of the standard colors of this period, highlights the beautiful grain of the maple wood. There is some weather checking at the joints of the materials, scratches, and tarnishing on the metal parts, but it can be said to be in relatively good condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e 【neck】\u003cbr\u003e The neck is made of 3-piece mahogany. The fingerboard is made of rosewood. There is repair work on the right side of the headstock veneer, weather checking mainly around the joints of the materials, some minor dents, paint peeling mainly on the sides of the fingerboard and behind the 13th fret, and tarnishing on the metal parts, giving it the feel of a vintage instrument. The tuners have been replaced with Grover 135N tuners, and they function well with little variation in winding. The frets and nut have been replaced, and the playability is good. The nut width is 39.9mm. It can be said that the neck shape is relatively sturdy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e [Electrical System]\u003cbr\u003e The controls are the standard 3-way pickup selector, 2 volume controls, and 2 tone controls. It retains two authentic stamped numbered humbucker pickups from the same period. The pickups and control components are in their original condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e The stop tailpiece design provides a tight, responsive attack, and the slightly powerful humbucker output, typical of the 1970s, combines to create a rich sound. The neck position offers a warm tone, while the bridge position is characterized by a clear, punchy tone. In clean tones, it produces a bright, airy sound with a clear outline, while in overdrive sounds, it delivers a powerful tone with a sense of stickiness and body, making it an appealing sound that is both easy to use and has presence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Accessories: Non-original hard case\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWeight: 3.45kg\u003cbr\u003e Body Material (Top\/Rim\/Back): Laminate Maple 1 piece\/Laminate Maple\/Laminate Maple 1 piece\u003cbr\u003e Neck Material\/Scale length: Mahogany 3 piece\/624mm (24-1\/2inch)\u003cbr\u003e Bridge\/Tail: Gibson ABR-1, chrome\/Stop Tailpiece (replaced)\u003cbr\u003e Fingerboard\/Fret Marker\/Radius: Rosewood\/Pearloid Block\/304.8mm (12inch)\u003cbr\u003e Nut Width\/Fret Size (Width): 39.9mm (replaced)\/2.8mm (replaced), 22 Fret\u003cbr\u003e Neck Thickness (1F\/7F\/12F): 21.0mm\/23.6mm\/25.1mm\u003cbr\u003e Pickup (Neck\/Bridge): Gibson PU-490 Stamped with Numbers w\/Chrome Cover (7.2kΩ\/7.3kΩ)\u003cbr\u003e *The DC resistance value of the pickup is measured through the control section.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Heartman Vintage Guitars is a specialty store for vintage guitars and basses operated by Ikebe Musical Instruments.","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43107323478129,"sku":"854143","price":4293.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0638\/4173\/0673\/files\/VINTAGE_ES-335TDW__75_Stop_Tailpiece_Modify_01.jpg?v=1774766571","url":"https:\/\/global.ikebe-gakki.com\/products\/854143","provider":"Ikebe Musical Instruments Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
