My response disappeared lol. Mine is a Nashville, A-91xxx. 9 for ‘59 and 1 for 2001 or 2011 since Gibson does reuse numbers. I have no COA though I *heard* that COA was a miss in 2001.

Mine started A-91XXX. 9 for’59 and 1 for 01 or 11, this is a Nashville I only got the hang tags And no COA. ( I heard that year didn’t have one /shrugs

Beautiful axe man.

Oh man, i’m betting it’s a Memphis.

I bought this 2001 Nashville Es-335 ‘59 Historic. Lol sometimes you just need to go for it.

I looked es-335 with a fat neck. He says it’s a 07 the serial number says it a late 06. It has a long guard, however the frets run over the binding. The tuners look like klusons but have no name and the tuning pegs are slotted. A bit confusing lol

The new standard Les Pauls feel really nice.to me. I was playing with both the 50s neck and 60s. The 60s felt just like my 09 ES-335 but I’m thinking the 50s neck was a bit nicer in my hands. I’m going back to have another feel though, I have to say that I was really digging that neck. Is the C shape much like the 50s neck? I’m thinking that I should look for a ES-335 with a 50s type neck. I need to avoid the vintage stuff (cost lol) but I’m guessing there some newer years that have something like the 50s neck. Anyone have any suggestions? I like black,dots, unbound neck and classic 57s, though that’s secondary to the feel. Jim

I used the same tuners on my es-335. Drop in fit on my 09 es-335. String changes are even easier with locking tuners. Imho

Pure Blues 10-46.

I know what your saying. I suppose I’d sell it and buy another. The original poster asked for thoughts. I just don’t like messing with Historics, hell I wouldn’t mess with my dot reissue and it’s not even from Nashville. Lol -edit- he could do it himself though some folks will look in cavity or behind the pups, it is Historic. Maybe I’m just anal about such things lol

On a Historic? Hell no. It comes down to value. As soon as you make the change you loose monetary value. IMHO. On a custom shop I might. As stated above, keep the old pickups and go carefully. You’ll alter the value but not as much as you would if it was Historic. My two cents. Jim

That should read Mahogany neck right? Jim
