1967 GiBSON ES-335,
BurGuNDy METallic
There was a lot of experimentation going on
at the Gibson Guitar Corporation during the
1950s, which resulted in the creation of some of
the most iconic guitars known to man. One of
them was the venerable—and versatile—ES-335.
This instant classic combined the warm, mellow
tones of a hollowbody with the rich, full growl of
a solidbody. Over the years, it has been played
by such legendary players as Chuck Berry, Roy
Orbison, Alvin Lee, Eric Clapton, Alex Lifeson,
Larry Carlton and Dave Grohl.
188 PREMIER GUITAR DECEMBER 2009
This one is a rare find: a 1967 model with
block inlays in Burgundy Metallic. Gibson only
produced this color from 1966 to 1968, and
except for the Grover tuners, this one’s 100%
original. Everything from the trapeze tailpiece
to the humbuckers and the case are just as
they were in ’ 67.
