Rigormortis Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Very nice! I love Strats as well, but I'm all for trading in relics if it gets you something as nice as your 335. Good job. That curly maple is killer. The label was white in the 50's then orange for a while until '69, and went to white or off white. Gibson has been putting orange labels into their reissues lately. What year is yours? "ESTD" is Electro-Spanish, Thinline, Double pickups. They are all thinline and all have double pickups; so the TD is left off sometimes. "ES335DOT" indicated the Dot neck, I think. I'm not familiar with ESDT, but it may be the same as "DOT". Gibson has made a lot of versions. Somebody here knows, I'm sure.

Californiaman Posted January 21, 2009 Share Posted January 21, 2009 Yeah, Rigormortis has got it right. It stands for "Electro-Spanish, Thinline, Double Pickupst". That's a beauty! Hope you have wonderfully fulfilling musical experiences with that guitar. Pick long and prosper! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
axeman3d Posted January 22, 2009 Author Share Posted January 22, 2009 Thanks Guys its a 2003 and has no wear at all. i think new for a figured maple is around £1899 over here i picked up my heavy relic HSS strat for £1100 on a deal with a guy, did ok on it, the only reason i was up for a trade was that my strat was HSS i just could not fall for it did not look right.. but it played good. i just love the tone from a 335 its something else and sits nice with my R0. cheers =D>/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Col F Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 ESDT = ES = Electric Spanish (as previously related by others) D= Dot (position markers, rather than block markers) T= Figured Top (don't ask me to explain how they arrived at this nomenclature), vs. "P" signifying Plain Top in that letter position. Thus you have a "AA" Figured Top 335... Quite a nice instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
