Kmeinzer Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Might be trading for this Es-335 and I’m just curious at what some others might think. What brought up my initial concern was the lettering on the truss rod cover and the very faint made in USA stamp. I’m an extremely skeptical person and just don’t want to be duped in to a bad trade deal. Any insight would be greatly appreciated! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 (edited) It looks like the year or so when they blackened in under the F-hole area. I never did like that look. Looks like a winner all day long. A 355 is one of the best things Gibson ever produced. Edited October 6, 2022 by Sgt. Pepper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 Looks like just a shadow. They're nice guitars and it doesn't take much to buff it out to a semi-gloss finish. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slimt Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 I can go to my local engraver and get anything put on a trussrod cover. the paperwork is your ticket to a legit 335. my L5ces Crimson has the same boolklet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveFord Posted October 6, 2022 Share Posted October 6, 2022 That is the truss rod cover that came on my Satin. I guess they're afraid you might forget what guitar you bought. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
