Gibson 1978 ES-335TD Stop Tail Mod

This is a modified 1978 "ES-335TD" model featuring a stop tailpiece.

It has specifications that are typical of this era, including a three-piece maple neck, a coil-tap switch, a large headstock, a wide nut and a Nashville-tuned O-Matic bridge.

It is equipped with original Super Humbucker pickups, and has been re-fretted and re-nutted, with new knobs fitted.

There is weather checking in some areas of the finish and minor scratches and scuffs consistent with its age, but no significant or conspicuous damage.

The neck and truss rod are in good condition, and the instrument plays well.
