Tommyhellfinger Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Hello everyone, I am thinking about buying an ES335 Government 1 Series guitar in totally mint condition from a guy that wants just shy of 3000$ for it. I see them going for more and less on the internet, is it a fair asking price? I am not looking to buy and sell, so I am keeping it but just wonder if I am making a good deal?

merciful-evans Posted December 24, 2021 Share Posted December 24, 2021 Hi Tom, Sorry you waited so long fo1r a reply, but I think I know why. We do get a lot of these sorts of questions. In your case, you've already done research and that what everybody here encourages. Sometimes someone will research on behalf of the OP, but its best done as you have. A products value is down to buyers perception and maybe more importantly, availability. I'm not familiar with the model so I just checked it out. Limited to 300?! So now I think probably you are best placed t1o make that call. Sorry if this seems like a cop out and good luck with your quest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larsongs Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 I’ve been playing Gibson ES Guitars for years & I’m not familiar with a Gov’t 335… I’m interested to know more.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted December 25, 2021 Share Posted December 25, 2021 Remember when they got raided and their wood was seized? Some of the wood was returned and they painted a few models a drab beige color and called them the Government Series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
