VERY RARE 1959 GIBSON ES-335 w/ ORIGINAL LIFTON CASE!!

This is an ultra rare 1959 vintage, Gibson ES-335, Tobacco Sunburst, serial #A 29397! It is all original with the exception of the tuners (the original tuning keys are included, but the plastic tips are long gone) and is in unbelievable exceptional condition for a guitar 48 years old!  Everything is original including the finish, frets, binding, pickups, pickguard, pots & electronic harness, knobs, switch & switch tip, 'Bigsby' tailpiece, nut etc etc. The nut is 1 11/16" wide. There are a couple of small dings at the top of the headstock which could be touched up with no problem. The finish is in amazing condition & is definitely original!  We've never seen another example of this guitar that's so clean; this guitar has very little playing time & probably was never used in clubs or on the road. Includes the original issue & rare Gibson/Lifton case as well! Just try to find another one of these in this amazing condition! An investment piece for sure!
