To net it out I have a 335 that is a wonderful player (better that what you find at guitar center) but definitely not original and I have no idea what is a fair price for it. I was fortunate to have Larry Carlton play it once and he deemed it wonderful. The neck is wonderful and the guitar plays really well with the bridge pretty much right on the pavement. It sat for a while and on a trip that I made to Heritage in Kalamazoo Michigan to get a Sweet 16, they convinced me to give it to them to re-neck.
GIBSON ES 125 CRAIGSLIST SERIAL NUMBER
I picked up a poor neck-less ES-335 in the early ’80s with mickey mouse ears and a union made label and a serial number that was un-readable. I have a ’60s 335 that I not playing much and I would like to sell but it has a past. That was the Clapton Crossroads which is, in my opinion, the best guitar Gibson has produced in the past 45 years. Actually, they already did it but they sold them out at $12,000 each. I think Gibson needs to do a 64 reissue Historic. Interestingly, I found the 63 Historic too small. I had bought that one for myself to play but I found the neck a little too large for my hands. I do buy from small dealers like me who aren’t looking for a huge payday, just a reasonable price for the guitar they have in hand. If that changes, I’ll start looking at their inventory again. I rarely buy from big dealers because they are almost always overpriced for the current market. I buy guitars from sellers who get in touch with me and I buy some from Ebay or Craigslist. I always disclose when parts aren’t original even if they are correct and you’d never know. If it’s not all original or correct, I have a big parts bin that I can go to to make it right. If it’s fixable by doing a proper setup, then that’s what I do. When I buy a guitar, I generally insist on an approval period so I can return a guitar that doesn’t play the way it should. If I acquire a guitar that I don’t love, I don’t list it on my site. Because I don’t overpay, I don’t overcharge. ‘Twas the Night Before Christmas at OK Guitars.
