Used Gibson ES-335 (1965) visible The nickel plated string windingsA refinished 1965 Gibson ES 335 in very good player grade vintage condition, including the original patent no. humbuckers and the original hard shell case. Modifications include an aftermarket brass nut, wrap tail conversion, and out of phase middle position wiring. Professionally and competently refinished black in the 1970s and holding up well, with wear limited to the general checks, dings, and scrapes one would expect from a 50 year old
