Damian00 Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Hey Guys, can you help me? I would like to buy GIBSON ES-335 and I found one which I am interesded in. However, I am concerned about it originality. Could you checked this serial Number and photos of sticker, and tell me if I should buy this example? I don’t know why on the sticker is written „ESDP: without „335". And what about serial number on headstock, is it ok? Please help me 😊 There is no certificat.

kidblast Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 (edited) serial #s can be duped, but you can check that yourself. Google is your friend, look for Guitar Dater which is one such site. there are others I don't see any thing to warn me off, with any obvious red flags, but if you have access to this guitar, look at what is under the truss rod cover, if you need an Allen Wrench to adjust relief, walk away you could also email customer service, but who knows when you hear back.

Sgt. Pepper Posted February 25, 2022 Share Posted February 25, 2022 Looks fairly legit and as kid said look under the TRC. Allen head or metric is the wrong answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I googled that serial Number and all I can find is that it is Gibson Guitar from 2008. There is no model and specification there. I wrote to The Gibson Service but still waiting for response.

Nothing special, Guitar is a few thousand miles from my place. But thanks for advice, I ask seller 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jdgm Posted February 26, 2022 Share Posted February 26, 2022 (edited) I'm not the expert but it looks genuine from what I can see. Very nice indeed. The Gibson ESDP 335 was a limited production model built at the now-closed Gibson Memphis plant, over the course of several years. The ESDP designation expands to “Electric Spanish Dot Neck Plain Top”, and is otherwise a standard ES-335 dot neck model. https://www.12fret.com/instruments/gibson-esdp-335-tobacco-sunburst-2011/ https://www.vintageandrare.com/product/Gibson-ES-335-DP-2011-Vintage-Sunburst-55930 Good luck!

I don't think it's a counterfeit. you're probably ok. if the seller can take a pick of the truss rode cavity. That should do it as long you can see it's not a allen wrench 5/16 socket style nut is what you want.
