[Info Es-335 1981 Reisue]

1981 was indeed the first year Gibson reissued the 335 with a stop tailpiece and dot fingerboard. Seemed like they had the '61 era slim taper neck. Not particularly rare, but nice guitars none the less. Red was more typical than other colors. Not sure what the production percentage was vs other colors.

Slimmer neck for sure.

On this thread, I own #028 from my 1981 ES 335 Dot Neck Reissue. This guitar is amazing. Has been played on world tours and it can be heard on a Grammy award winning Album of The Year! Love it!

This is a very early 335 from Kalamazoo.
