1971 Gibson ES-335TD Semi Hollow Electric Guitar - Cherry

A vintage classic that oozes vibe and tone, this 1971 Gibson ES-335TD in Cherry is a prime example of Gibson’s semi-hollowbody magic from the early '70s. With its laminated maple body, solid center block, and dual humbuckers, this guitar strikes a perfect balance between warm, woody resonance and sharp, articulate bite.

The vibrant Cherry finish has aged gracefully, developing that deeper, slightly darker hue that vintage lovers chase. The double-bound body, trapeze tailpiece, and block inlays add to its classic looks, while the original Gibson “Witch Hat” knobs and black pickup rings give it that unmistakable early ‘70s character.

Tonally, the ES-335TD can do it all—from mellow jazz and soulful blues to biting rock and roll. The original patent number humbuckers (or let me know if replaced) provide rich, dynamic tone with plenty of clarity and punch. The neck has a slim, comfortable profile, typical of the era, and plays like butter up and down the rosewood fingerboard.
