1967ES335TDW

Let's Hope So~~~ That 335 may show its head there again It almost seemed like they didn't want ME to have it I was lied to about it 3-4 times now Went through this with a handgun they showed there far below market value, viewable online Eventually I walked in one day & the handgun was on the shelf, they were supposed to call me but never did & they get commission on the sales there too Sold it later & made $100 on it SO~~~ They have no idea what year or how valuable that guitar is & they manager might actually know the original owner There are some shady deals that happen there Like showing it one day & the next they didn't BUT still had it, = manager removed it from inventory doing the original owner a favor OR??? They knew I would see it if they didn't

The deal didn't happen, they wasted my time all along & lied to us about it Figures They should have never let us see & play that guitar IF it was being held for someone else Hate being lied too Well, I have my grand in cash & went shopping at a big guitar store afterwards & bought nothing, not even a guitar pick When you get as old as I am you don't come across many guitars or basses that talk like they used too

Very similar except the sticker inside the F Hole & tuners + different knobs

This going to be a Gift for my youngest son with me paying Sold a few Bang Bangs last week & the money is profit Won't be able to see the date codes on the potentiometers & am unsure about taking a look inside yet More to Come Gary S.

Came across a vintage Gibson of all places a local Pawn Shop They showed it in stock last week but was told it was being held till Friday SO, I go by 1st thing Saturday & it is gone from the stock & again was being held but not telling me so Fast forward to Tuesday & I stop in & am then told it will be held only till 7:00pm at close, so I hang out till closing Now I am being told it will have to be priced which it was last week @ $1000, which I had in my pocket the whole time Found it by searching their inventory & find lots of Guns & Guitars this way below current market value My two Gibsons currently are Les Paul Studio Lite M-III & The Hawk These IMO are not VINTAGE but after doing some research on this Walnut ES-335 TDW with Serial # 894293 seems to be a 1967 Walnut ES335 It has the orange sticker within the F Hole, is not marked Made in USA & has no volute It is in fairly good shape for being 55 years old I am going back there in the morning for the 4th time on this guitar alone with $1000 CASH I took my youngest son with me last Friday & they let him plug it up & give it a five-minute inspection through an amp, He's 31 BTW Everything looks right as far as wear & condition + parts etc., the case isn't original but is also vintage = 40+ years old & fits but isn't a hard case, not Gibson Gear The Guitar seems to have that Majic Mojo that only comes from being played for decades It needs a setup & a new set of .010"s, it also has the nylon saddles in the bridge + Kluson tuners & the trapeze tailpiece I would like to remove the truss rod cover & one of the pickups but am not sure I will be let to do so??? I was born in 1966 BTW & this could be the oldest guitar I have ever bought IS THIS GUITAR WORTH $1000??? NO Photos YET! I found a few online like it but there are always some differences It appears 100% Original with no modifications More to Come Tomorrow unless I get another story & I may just let the deal drop because of them wasting my time GaryS.
