golfski Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 (edited) Hi there! I recently bought a used “highly figured glacier blue” ES-335. The seller mentions it was a special limited run in GB for that year, the Blueberry Burst and others are advertised as figured, while the GB is not. Was curious how to validate this isn’t just a regular GB? I dont have guitar in hand yet, will in a week - very much looking forward to it! Was just curious as I assume figured is less common and if this was limited would be more even more unique. The model number seems to be standard, but wasn’t sure if you could tell other than visual looks. I’m a sucker for beautiful guitars, and like bright colors!

01GT eibach Posted July 4, 2021 Share Posted July 4, 2021 Agreed w/ Rabs, the "normal" 2019 ES335 Blueberry Burst had purple in it. Your guitar looks better IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, and it includes the OP's "Glacier Burst" (second from right). So, my guess is that GB was not provided the whole platte of colors, with Glacier Blue excluded but provided in "limited" numbers. But because that finish was not "limited" for the USA consumption, there will likely be a lot of them out there. So ... you got a beautiful blue guitar. Just enjoy playing it, and don't be concerned over it being particularly rare. I am sure it is awesome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

golfski Posted July 5, 2021 Author Share Posted July 5, 2021 Thank you all, I’m very excited to get this! I was just curious if it was being pumped up more than it was, can’t wait to get my hands on it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
