1979 Gibson ES-335 TD Natural W/Case

Very good used condition for age!  Appears to be all original with exception of the bridge pickup ring (original ring included but is warped).  Gently used with no major damage or wear to note.  Guitar was signed by East coast Canadian blues legend Dutch Mason and the signature has light lacquer on it to preserve the signature.  Includes the well worn original hardshell case.  Guitar weighs 8 lbs 5 oz.

The 1979 Gibson ES-335 TD in Natural is a semi-hollow, double-cutaway electric guitar from the Norlin-era Gibson run that carries the classic ES-335 proportions and tone. It has a laminated maple/poplar/maple body with a solid maple center block, a set mahogany neck, and a thin Natural nitrocellulose finish that lets the wood grain show. The headstock typically bears the Gibson logo and a truss-rod cover marked "TD"; hardware on many 1979 ES-335 TDs includes nickel-plated appointments and a glued-in rosewood or bound fingerboard depending on the specific spec run that year.

Typical specifications for a 1979 ES-335 TD are: 24.75" scale length, 22 frets, mahogany set neck, laminated maple body with center block, dual humbucking pickups (often Gibson humbuckers of the period), Tune-o-Matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece, and nickel hardware.
