Hi Folks-
A friend recently inherited an ES 335. He doesn't know squat about guitars, and I can't help him with this model or date of manufacture. Instead of the standard F-holes, this one has diamonds; The fretboard inlays are blocks, split diagonally. Black color, silver hardware, black EMG humbuckers, black grover tuners, three to a side. Serial #00170420. Looks like a lot of after-market changes to me? Thanks!
