HB081M is the Gibson item number. Referring to

 

http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/HB081M

 

it applies to the 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue Vintage Burst V. O. S. AND YOUR LUCK IS THAT GOOD INDEED!

 

Congrats, man, take a deep breath, that's a BIG deal!

 

Have fun!

Just researched. Thomann is offering a 1959 ES-335 TD with Vintage Natural finish at EUR 4590, and this one is said to come with two Burstbucker pickups (number 1, 2 or 3 not stated).

 

P.S.: Forgot to mention that Sweetwater specified '57 Classic pickups.

So, it's the really nice one, just like Gibson said? What's "TD"?

 

(breathing into a paper bag)

Yes, it's the really nice one, and TD says Thinline Dual Pickup.

Sorry, forgot to post that on the Gibson website

Burstbuckers 1 (neck) and 2 (bridge) are specified. I can say that they are very great as the four-lead wired versions of 'em came stock on a Les Paul of mine.

You're welcome, Cyrja. After having read that you felt you're lost in your topic description, I'm glad I was a bit of help to turn the story into the right direction.
