1961 Gibson ES-335 Dot neck guitar with PAF
pickup
Owned & played by Mick Ralphs from Bad Company
A very rare quitar for your consideration. It is
a beautiful 1961 Gibson ES-335TD " DOT " neck having serial # 40561. It's
Sunburst finish has faded nicely front and back. It is equipped w/1 PAF +1
Pat # pickup that has gold pole pieces. It appears it may have had 2 PAF's
at one time, now w/an early Pat.# pickup. It has a factory stop tailpiece.
It also
has a flat & wide neck profile. It is very original except for perhaps the 1
pickup & repro tuners. The headstock has a nearly invisible pro-repaired
crack that was made to look almost non- existent by Ross Tiegen of Naples.
What makes this DOT neck oh so cool is it was owned, played and recorded on
by Bad Company's Mick Ralphs !! We are selling it for the price of a normal
run of the mill Dot necks & it is quite cheap at that. All original examples
w/out issues are in the $40K. range now. It comes with an original gator
