This is a limited run from the Gibson Custom Shop of 335's in Watermelon Red. This is meant to mimic the fade that occurs on real Cherry ES guitars from the later 50s/60s. I bought this guitar from the original owner (It was over $6k new). The original owner swapped the pickup covers for a set of aged covers (the originals are included). This is the only thing keeping me from listing the guitar as mint. There are no issues whatsoever. I think Gibson only made 200 of these and this color is now only reserved for the Murphy Lab. The 1964 Reissue models utilize sharp horn cutaways, medium C-shape neck profiles scanned from originals, small block inlays and vintage-replica parts. Some specs from Gibson:
Body Material 3-Ply Maple/Poplar/Maple
Centerblock Solid Maple
Binding 1-Ply Royalite
Finish Nitrocellulose Lacquer VOS (Vintage Patina)
Profile Authentic ’64 Medium C-Shape
Fingerboard Material Indian Rosewood, Hide Glue Fit
