Dear all,

Has anybody has the specifications of this gorgeus Es-335 I've just bought?

Having the "Custom" certificate as shown on the attached image, model ESDTWGH1 and serial number 13491712, in doubt which model is and from which year ....

Any expert?

Thanks a lot in advance!

Gorgeous indeed!

I think the letters might stand for something like..... Electric Spanish Dot Thinline (or maybe Transparent?) Wine Gold Hardware.

But I could be wrong - Forum members please correct me if so.

Congrats on a fine-looking guitar.

Electro-Spanish, Dot, Wine Red, Gold Hardware would be my guess.  Guessing the serial number says built in 2011.  COA says Custom but probably made in Memphis factory which is not the same as the true Nashville Custom Art & Historic shop.  Many Memphis made semi-hollows had this "Custom" designation and the debate continues if they are truly "Custom Shop" guitars.  Gibson certainly referred to them as such.  Nice looking guitar, but a true Custom Shop would have block fret markers and the split diamond head stock decoration as well as an ebony fretboard i.e.:
