Items for sale (or maybe trade) Gibson, PRS, Epiphone Elite

[bruce919]

I bought this off of e-bay two weeks. I just have not bonded with the guitar. I am looking to sell or trade.

2005 Gibson Larry Carlton Es-335. guitar has a few light scraches & in ding up at the head stock. see photos.

This is an early production model (~2006-07) in the first run of these fine guitars from Gibson's Memphis Custom Shop. This instrument features the 68' fat neck dimensions found on Larry's original 69 ES-335. The orange label was signed by the man himself! Here are the other specifications:

• Color: "Carlton-burst" finish
  
• Top: Maple / poplar / maple
  
• Back: Maple / poplar / maple
  
• Sides: Maple / poplar / maple
  
• Neck: Mahogany
  
• Fingerboard: Rosewood with pearloid block inlays
  
• Number of frets: 22
  
• Pickups: Two '57 Classic Humbuckers
  
• Controls: Two each tone and volume with three-way pickup selector switch, Amp-style knobs
  
• Machine heads: Schaller M6
  
• Hardware: Nickel plated
  

This is a true players axe and therefore I have added two tone-enhancing upgrades: a bone nut and a Callaham ABR-1 billet steel bridge, Expert Luthier Mark Kane performed this work and remarked at the very noticeable difference the Callaham ABR-1 makes to both acoustic and electric tone on this 335. Of course I'm including the original bridge which will drop right back on the bridge pins/thumbwheels which are original. Mark also leveled and dressed the frets. This ES-335 has been played minimally since the fret level/dress.

Case candy includes the official Gibson Custom Art and Historic Certificate, Gibson "toaster cable", the original bridge, truss-rod wrench, and D'Addario Strings a .010 set and a .011 set.

**Explanation of condition: there are a handful of very tiny dents on the lower portion of back of plus a couple of small shallow abrasions on the headstock. Other than that there is some minor playing (e.g. very light marks on the pick guard) wear, The guitar's finish, hardware, electronics, case, etc. are all in excellent condition.
