One of the very first of just 174 ES-355TD/SVs made in 1961. This lovely example weighs just 9.20 lbs. Laminated maple body with maple central block, one-piece mahogany neck with a typical '60 profile, bound ebony fretboard with 22 frets and inlaid pearl block position markers. Two PAF 'double-black' pickups with black plastic surround and outputs of 7.65k and 7.92k. ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and factory Bigsby vibrato tailpiece. All hardware gold-plated. This is an exceptionally fine (9.00) example of the "top-of-the-line" thinlines. Housed in it's original Gibson five-latch brown hardshell case with pink plush lining (8.75).
