Details
A remarkably clean and original example of one of Gibson's iconic short-scale hybrids, a model introduced only a year earlier. Original finish has very noticeable lacquer checking, but with few signs of wear (note that a second strap button hole near the neck heel has been filled). Beveled edge multi-ply pickguard has a slight sway in the middle but doesn't get in the way of your right hand. All parts appear to be original, however the tailpiece doesn't conform to what is usually found on an ES-350T but since this tailpiece is the same as Gibson used on their similar Byrdland models we're guessing that's the explanation. The frets are original, and show only light wear. Comes with original hardshell case.
