Gibson Memphis 2018 Limited 1961 ES-335

[Pedro Pinho]

Hello there.  I am trying to purchase a used Gibson Memphis 2018 Limited 1961 ES-335 . 

The problem is that the one I have seen around here has gold knobs and that got me wondering about the authenticity of the guitar. 

Have anyone seen a cherry es335 with gold knobs? 

There is a picture below. I would greatly appreciate the help.

Hi Pedro,

Yes. Here is an old link to an Andertons guitar of this description

Never understood why Gibson only put control cavity covers on BB Kings and not other ES models. Makes changing pots and pups a real fun experience.

I didnt know that about BB Kings. The first thing I had to do with my 339 was fish out the switch from the f-hole to clean it. Ok if you're a keyhole surgeon.

Maybe it was originally a mod BB had done?

It’s out of necessity because remember the BB doesn’t have F holes 

 

That is a sweet looking 335

That's right. I forgot and even owned one.
