Description
Serial Number113991
The 1963 ES-335 pictured has many features common to the model that year, including patent number humbucking pickups (the original patent-applied-for pickups were still used arbitrarily until the supply was exhausted in 1964), block inlay markers on a Brazilian rosewood fretboard (these replaced dot markers in 1962), a short 3-ply black pickguard (which replaced the original long pickguard in 1960), and a nickel-plated Tune-o-matic bridge. A stop tailpiece was standard for an ES-335 at the time, but if there was a custom order for one with a Bigsby vibrato, the stop tailpiece holes were covered by a “Custom Made” plaque. Instead of the usual Kluson Deluxe machine heads, this guitar has factory installed Grover Rotomatic tuners.
