2014 Gibson ES-335 Dot Semihollow Electric Guitar

Overview: This more-recent "Dot" 335 is quite the player and has the clean-but-warm, punchy-but-clear sound most folks are chasing from these. It's got a fast neck and good looks to boot, with flamed-maple veneer at the top, back, and sides to provide some eye candy. It's got a bit of use on it but overall it's in good shape.

Interesting features: Oddly-enough, someone quirky did the last setup and adjustments on it before it arrived here -- the neck pickup is turned 180-degrees with the poles facing the center of the guitar and the strings are wrapped over the tailpiece in a very-retro, '50s manner. I like both alterations as interesting changes but I am entirely happy to restring it "as normal" at the tailpiece and flip the neck pickup around. All we've done so far is level and dress the frets, clean it up a bit, and given it a good setup otherwise.

Repairs included: It's had a level/dress of the frets (there was mild wear on them, the frets still have good height) and setup and is playing spot-on and fast.
