1964 GibsonES-355TDC – Cherry (J.S. Peterson)
While we’re not quite sure who J.S Peterson is, we know that his custom-ordered 1964 Gibson ES-355TDC Mono in Cherry is absolutely incredible! This guitar is custom designed from the top down, with a large Super 400 style headstock adorned with a take on Gibson’s Crest, Mr. Peterson’s name inlaid across the fretboard, and no Varitone circuit. What’s even cooler is that we were able to locate some of Gibson’s original sketches of the guitar, and we can even see some changes that occurred before its final production. The guitar is as much of a player as it is a showpiece, with an incredibly comfortable neck, two balanced Pat. No. pickups, and plenty of fret life left. All in all, the guitar is exceptionally well preserved and even retains its original tags in its original case!
