1999 Gibson Custom Shop ES-335 Jim Beam Semihollow Electric Guitar
Overview: This is a Custom Shop ES-335 with a fatter, '50s-style neck... and Jim Beam whiskey trimmings! Whose party are we at, right?
Interesting features: The knobs themselves are fantastic. When you mix them with the retro-'50s cartoon art and two-tone metallic red/salmon paintjob, it's almost a bit hallucinatory. The rest of the guitar is a pretty straight-up, well-executed ES-335.
Repairs included: It got a level/dress of the frets and setup via Sarah and it's playing spot-on and ready to go.

Condition notes: It's overall pretty clean but does show some weather-checking to the (nitro) finish here and there throughout. It appears to be entirely original. There are some reflections on the back in the photos that look like scratches or dings -- they're not -- though there is a little handling/playwear here and there.
It comes with: It's got its original hard case.
