El Giablo Posted October 22, 2010 Share Posted October 22, 2010 I almost bought a beautiful '98 ES-350t. The guitar has a Bigsby and five control knobs. The toggle switch is mounted above the neck, and there is a master volume control knob in it's place.(below the neck) The serial number -90978005- does not match the Gibson database. (I called this week) My concern is, if there is no way to authenticate the custom wiring. What is it worth? Thanks, G. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an ES350T within 2 serial nos to yours but with "standard" wiring and buckers. I believe Gibson built a batch of these with variuos configurations. Over here in England E-Bay had one like yours going for £3000 if my menory serves. Whichever config they are great guitar with of course the 1 11/16 neck as opposed to the narrower version. Finally I believe Jimmy Page owns one of that batch, a blonde version (like mine) but with P90s. Another variant Good luck George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's a one off that's a plus, if it's a mod, that's something else. Some of those done in the 90s had a full 25 1/2" scale neck, which isn't really true to the vintage ES350T. The original "T"'s were less-fancy Byrdland's with laminated maple tops. Very cool guitars none the less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
