AkaGaru Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 I came across an interesting es-335 recently. I have never seen a 335 with this kind of finish. Is this a custom finish or was it or is it still a stock finish? Can anyone help with this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveFord Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 From poking around it looks like they did a limited run of 335s and a 355 without a Varitone or Lyre tail piece in 2011. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AkaGaru Posted April 8, 2021 Author Share Posted April 8, 2021 What I am trying to figure out is whether this was a standard or custom Gibson finish or if it is a re-finish done by a third party. I’ve just never seen this particular finish on any other Gibson. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted April 8, 2021 Share Posted April 8, 2021 Limited run from Gibson, it's more common on Les Pauls. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J. Rex Posted October 23, 2021 Share Posted October 23, 2021 Sorry for the resurrection. This finish is called Antigua, somewhat like Fender's Antigua finish around 1980, and different than Silver Burst. I don't think I've seen a Gibson from the '70s-'80s, but they may have been made. However, I do know that they made a run of Gibsons in this finish sometime within the last 20 years. That may what this is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
