The deeper body and trapeze tailpiece combine to provide a response that is darker and punchier on the attack and less acoustically sustaining-a perfect recipe for a more traditional jazz tone. 046 strings, but the three-piece maple neck has a healthy, rounded ’59 Les Paul contour that could easily handle the added tension of flatwound strings. If the untinted clear finish doesn’t float your boat, check out Gibson’s wine red, vintage sunburst or ebony black finishes. Simple white binding sets off the unfigured maple body, with its unbound f-holes. An unbound rosewood fingerboard is ornamented with dot inlays, and the headstock is similarly unbound and unornamented, save the gold Gibson decal.

It was done to show the new features that Gibson was offering on the 335 that year. If that center block weren’t there, this would be a dead ringer for the jazz player’s workhorse, the ES-175. Item: Vintage 1977 Gibson ES-335 Prototype w / OHSC Description: You are purchasing a Vintage 1977 Gibson ES-335 Prototype w / OHSC This guitar was made for the Namm Show in 1977. The Limited-Edition 135 features the famous PAF ’57 humbuckers and gold hardware, including Grover tuners and a trapeze tailpiece. You’d normally find the ES-135 outfitted with chrome hardware and P-90 pickups or, on some models, Gibson’s stacked P-100s. The gloss Wine Red nitro lacquer finish is practically pristine, with wear limited to just a few exceedingly faint finish scratches and tiny nicks on the guitar as a whole. With its single cutaway and slightly deeper body (2.125 inches at the edge), the ES-135 comes a little closer to a jazz guitar than its 335-based brothers. All of the electronics function flawlessly, the gold hardware is bright and clean, and the original plastics are equally well-kept.
