Wow thanks for this !
My fear is: It might rip trying to take it out and or, it might get dropped inside the body and impossible to retrieve.
might take it to my guitar tech, since I have some other things for him to do also.
Thanks again

ok , now we are getting somewhere with the responses- this might be the most relevant and important comment that I was hoping to get- can you please elaborate a bit more ?

The internal serial number label is half peeled off inside my ‘98 es335. What kind of glue should I use to reattach it, and what method do I use ? Maybe put the glue on a piece of wire bent at 90 degrees like a hockey stick ?

My “new” used ‘98 tobacco burst figured top. Slim neck with some of the lacquer, nicely worn off the back from previous thumb wear. I use it for jazz thru my Pro Reverb Custom- killer tone, just clean no pedals.

Just bought the above noted guitar and really like it- I’m a newcomer to P90’s and love the tone. This is a pre-1963 style.
This is the 4th Gibson archtop I’ve owned, but the first without the internal sticker stating the model.
The serial number stamped inside the body matches the certificate of authenticity, but have you ever heard of there not being an identification sticker inside the body of an ES-330 ? Was that common, or did they forget to put one in ?
Thanks for your feedback 🙏

I bought my 339 for what it is, not for what it isn’t (335). The 339 is unique in its own way that I love. If you really want a 335, then don’t settle for anything less.

Just discovered this model yesterday, and was so impressed I bought it.
I’m a jazz player (only clean)and this thing has a big, sweet punchy tone for such a little light (7.2lb) body. Easy to play, it’s the sound that I’ve been chasing with various other guitars-the center block gives nice sustain- I also have a big-box ES175D and have previously owned a brutally heavy ES345.
The 339 is light and nimble easy to stand with, produces rich sounding harp- harmonics as well. The neck is wide enough so I can play closed voicings up at the 10th fret on the top 4 strings- which is much more difficult to do on the ES175D.
I decided to replace the shiny chrome Grover ( kidney) tuners with their retro - vintage style in order the reduce all that shiny chrome bling.

Well if it’s good enough for Steve Howe, then it’s good enough for me 😆
I know that Joe Pass, Pat Metheny, and lots other jazz guys played this as well, not that I’m looking for validation.
this one is from the “Norland Era”, in which it is known the quality slipped a bit, particularly from ‘75-80, but I don’t care, I’m sure it will be great, it’s only had 2 previous owners in the last 46 years.
I also like the yellow rather than reddish sunburst colour scheme, and yes it was a very good price.

What are your opinions of this model and vintage ? I’m about to purchase it.

Thanks everyone for your collective expertise - I really appreciate it. I’ve decided to return this “frankenguitar” for a full refund ( $2,200 CDN)

Anybody other than me use their ES345 for mainly jazz ? ( not talking about blues, but JAZZ )
Yes I know lots use use the ES335 for jazz, but that’s not my question.If yes, do you ever use the variable tone control dial ?
i think it works great for jazz, smooth or funk jazz as well. It’s just a bit heavy is the only thing (7.5 pounds and I use the widest most padded strap available)

I’ve just acquired this vintage Gibson, spruce top, ebony fingerboard and Grover tuning pegs, but it doesn’t have the parallelograms as fret markers, nor the emblem inlay in the head stock. Can anyone help me confirm the model. The vendor tells me it is from 1953.

I’ve had this 1964 reissue for about 6 months and love it- but I noticed these weird marks forming on the pickup covers under the strings. Almost like corrosion or something- it cannot be wiped off with a rag.
Something is happening to the metal covers.
Has anyone seen this before, know what it is and if it can be removed?
First Year Flame introduced for ES335 ?
in Gibson ES

Typing mistakes
What year did Gibson first introduce the flamed top & back on the ES335 ?
This is my ‘98- classic 57 HB, beautiful throaty but warm tone, and comfortable neck not too thick.
