1968 GibsonES-335 – Greenburst
Well, this is unique… feast your eyes on this 1968 Gibson ES-335 in this factory original Green Sunburst finish! This guitar was a special order in this unique color, and is the only one we’ve seen like it! While the front and back of this guitar are bursted, the neck and sides are finished opaquely in the same green. Once you look past the finish, you will notice that this guitar features a chrome trapeze tailpiece and ABR-1 with nylon saddles. These original frets are also in phenomenal shape to match the rest of this clean guitar. Plus, these humbucking pickups are very well-balanced. This all adds up to one special, resonant guitar with a strange look we can’t help but love! We heard from someone who bought the guitar from the original owner many years ago who had a bit more information regarding the guitar’s unique origin. He shared that the original owner’s uncle was close with executives at Gibson at the time, and he specifically requested a guitar in “Green Bay Packers Greenburst” to match his favorite football team. For all you Cheeseheads out there, this guitar is the one for you!
