Description

Just took this in on trade….wow ! For the narrow nut fan (1 9 16)

Totally different than a stop-tail Dot, elegant and bit more subdued. If desired, jazz inflected.

“By the late 1960s, Gibson s flagship semi-solidbody featured a slimmer, narrower neck offering fast action and easy playabilty, and came with durable, tarnish resistant chrome hardware. Gibson Memphis is pleased to present this 2016 Limited Edition incorporating these features with a pair of MHS humbuckers and the Memphis Tone circuit, designed to bring out the best tone a semi-solid has to offer.”

  The Gibson Memphis ES-335 is an ode to hollowbodies of old. It s got that ES-335 mojo because of the way it s constructed bu you ll notice off-the-bat that it has something different – and that s the trapeze tailpiece!”
