Interesting comment from Gibson.

So now you've dug it out again, are you going to try to play it now?

 

Yes, but poorly. 😛 

[Lefty ES335 with a righty neck?]

I bought this 1970 ES-335TD lefty in the early 80's.  Never did master playing, so it has been sitting in its case most of the intervening years. It has a righty neck, which appears to be original.I called Gibson in the late 80's to ask them about it.  Their reply was "If we were building a lefty and didn't have a neck in stock, we threw a righty neck on it".  Is this true?  Were lefty's  special order in 1970, or did they just build a certain number?  It has Grover tuners, the knobs were a mystery for a long time.  I finally figured they are from Radio Shack!  I have attached pictures,  any info or criticism is welcomed.   

[Hello from Ohio.]

I just found this forum.  I'll be posting pictures of my ES-335.  It has an unusual feature that has puzzled me for almost 40 years.
