The_Buffalo Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I was in a music store the other day (an authorized Epiphone dealer) & saw an Epiphone ES-335 Block limited edition. Has anyone else seen any Epiphone Blocks, or is this a fake? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Has anyone else seen any Epiphone Blocks' date=' or is this a fake?[/quote'] No, not a fake; I saw one yesterday at Long & McQuade, Canada's largest music store chain, and Canada's primary source of Gibson products. I had to look twice to make sure I was reading the tag correctly, but it was an Epiphone 335 with block inlays in Vintage Sunburst. Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vic Flick Posted December 19, 2009 Share Posted December 19, 2009 I was in a music store the other day (an authorized Epiphone dealer) & saw an Epiphone ES-335 Block limited edition. Has anyone else seen any Epiphone Blocks' date=' or is this a fake?[/quote'] Legit. It was a limited edition model called the Dot Super. This is actually a reissue of the 1962-1964 ES-335 which had block inlays and a stop tailpiece. Here's a 1964 ES-335: When I started getting into guitars in 1965, the ES-335 had block inlays and a trapeze tailpiece. The general consensus was that the pre-1962 models with the dot necks (that's what we used to call them) were superior instruments. Around 1981, the ES-335 was replaced by the ES-335 Dot reissue. Here's a fact sheet for a 1977 ES-335: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neilpanda Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 this guitar is from a limited run in 2009...I just got one from my local dealer. They are pretty rare. (at least in canada) they told me there were about 4 left in canada. I guess 4 now are still available. The limited run was dedicated to the gibson es335 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Except the € fell off... Great looking guitar Buff, HNGD. Comparing yours with the one TehBeast posted, they look pretty identical to me except the positioning of the 3-way switch, which could simply be the angle of the camera. Going on looks alone, I'd say it's a reasonable bet it's genuine. Enjoy !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
