Gibson ES-335 P-90 Exclusive - Ebony w/hard case USED
Description
Very Good Condition!! w/hard case
Made in 2021, body weight approximately 3.757kg
This is an exclusive model for the American market that comes standard with two P-90 pickups on the regular ES-335. Upon investigation, it appears that it was not distributed by dealers, the number produced was small, and since it was only sold in the USA, it seems that there were very few domestic shipments.
The body specs are different from the ES-330, with a center block at the 19th fret joint, and although it is equipped with a P-90 pickup, it is different from the ES-330. A separate model, the ES-335 P-90, has also been released, but it has a dog-ear style without a pickguard. This is a soap bar P-90 with a pickguard, finished in an all-ebony color, and has a traditional and simple look with little eccentricity. It feels like a semi-acoustic version of the Les Paul Pro Deluxe from the late 1970s. Unlike humbucking PUs, the crisp yet mellow tone is a new sound that is not found in the regular 335 or 330.
*The strap pin has been replaced with a Schaller one. (Original parts are not included)
▼Adjustment contents
・Basic adjustment
We replaced the strings, adjusted the neck, the string height, and the octave.
The strings are D'Addario EXL110 (10-46 gauge), and are set to 1.8 mm at the 6th string at the 12th fret and 1.4 mm at the 1st string at the 12th fret.
The neck is also adjusted to be almost straight with very little forward bending, and the playability is in good condition with no noticeable buzzing or choking. The truss rod has room on both sides. We have not turned the truss rod excessively to check the slack, but the rod torque is normal and it works well.
The frets were not worn out and were in good shape, so we did not file them but only cleaned them. Although there are traces of string rubbing, there are currently more than 90% remaining.
・Electrical system check
The current condition is good with original parts and no noticeable noise or rasping.
・Cleaning
The entire fret has been cleaned according to the characteristics of the model.
We have cleaned it as thoroughly as possible without compromising the texture and feel.
We do not sell it immediately after setup, but rather wait for a certain period of time to check for any changes in condition before starting to sell it, so we aim to finish it in a condition that you can use with confidence even after purchasing it.
▼Exterior condition
There are scratches and small dents, but there are no major or noticeable scratches and it is in good condition.
▼Accessories
Original hard case, new warranty, owner's manual, inspection photo, hard case key, etc. are included.
