Mats Raknerud Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Hi. I hope this is OK to post here. i want to sell my es335 (esdp335). But I can’t remember what I gave for it. And I’m struggling a bit finding out what would be a fair asking price. It was made in the nashville plant 2011. The case says Custom Shop. Anyone here knows the value of this? Just in the ballpark. Have a great day. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sgt. Pepper Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Look on Reverb for what your year/model/condition are going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats Raknerud Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 Yes. I did. Found this. It seems identical. But is from the Memphis plant. Does that affect the price? https://www.12fret.com/instruments/gibson-esdp-335-tobacco-sunburst-2011/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 So you need to confirm whether the 335 is a custom shop? The case is not in itself proof. There should be some other ID on the guitar hopefully. Does the label say Nashville on it? If not, how do you know its a Nashville build? In 2011 Memphis were producing 335s. I suggest calling Gibson about this. Use the contact number at the bottom of these pages (link). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats Raknerud Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 (edited) I did search the serial number. And it is built in nashville edit: checked a different search engine that in fact said «built in memphis or nashville» Edited August 30, 2022 by Mats Raknerud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You usually need a pretty good idea about your guitar in the first place before checking serial numbers online. That's why its better to call Gibson as per previous post.

JO'C Posted August 30, 2022 Share Posted August 30, 2022 Hello Mats, If it is a Custom Shop from 2011 it would have a Custom Shop decal on the bottom of the back of the headstock and a Custom Shop serial number, usually starting with CS. The orange label inside the f-hole should say where it was made and the specific model number. If you can give the serial number from the beginning with the real numbers it would help identify what year it is. You can just give XXX for the last three numbers as these only indicate the day of the year it was made and are not so important. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mats Raknerud Posted August 30, 2022 Author Share Posted August 30, 2022 I have spoken to Gibson. Didn’t know that they cared to answer questions like that. 🙂 thank you for pointing me in the right direction. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
