Beautiful Gibson Custom ES-335 model in gloss Cherry Red, dating from 2011.
These models have rightly gained some traction over the years and are well known as a 'good year' 335. The 2011 model was nearabout a '59 reissue, with the main cosmetic difference being Grover tuners. It features nickel hardware, black top hat knobs, a bound dot neck and a 'medium C' neck profile - which I find to be rather similar to a '59 profile (not too thin, not too fat).
This is desirably the gloss variant (rather than 'satin') and is factory-fitted with Gibson '57 Classic Humbuckers - again, rather PAF-like.

Condition:
This guitar is both well-played and well-looked after, being break-free and with no repairs, breaks or serious damage. There are a few select dings, a few minor ones to the back of the neck and some tiny ones to the body, but it's ultimately fairly clean. Typical use wear to the finish in the form of finish swirling when viewed in fine light - the sign of a guitar well-played. Though as above, it's a well looked-after guitar. Frets in good shape with no issues and plenty of life left in them. Plays excellently and sounds beautiful.
Modifications/repairs:
None.
Accessories:
Original Gibson hard case and COA.
