1962 Gibson ES-355 in its stunning original cherry finish. This guitar is 100% original. The original frets still have life left in them and it plays great up and down the neck. It has one original PAF pickup in the bridge position and a Patent No. in the neck (same pickup, different sticker). I would call this collector grade except for one chip at the tip of the headstock wing and a little back of the neck wear and one ding on the back. Truly one of the best sounding ES guitars we have had come through here. The original brown case (which is a little bit of an anomaly for the year) is extremely clean. The leather on the handle has worn off. By 1962 Gibson had mostly switched to the Black/yellow case. This could have been a mistaken switch from the original guitar shop it sold from. Either way this case has been with the guitar since it sold as new and is a nice upgrade over the black/yellow one.
