Vintage 1987 Gibson ES335 Dot Custom Shop Edition Tobacco Flame Sunburst Guitar
I’m THRILLED to announce the sale of a 60+ year collection coming through The Music Locker. This collection spans all decades from the 60s to the present day. They have been collected by a true lover of vintage. This particular guitar is from 1987 and is ‘pre custom shop’ denoted by the Custom Shop Edition sticker to the back of the headstock. This one was purchased within a few months of it being released and has been kept in the same house since then. The nickel parts on this, along with that incredible flame top, add something special in my opinion. The condition is incredible – he really looked after all of his guitars.
Please bear in mind the following – each guitar in the collection has been stored in a loft for decades. Therefore will require a clean and re-string. I can give the buyer two options. Firstly I can send as it is pictured to you, and you get it cleaned and restrung yourselves. Or I can do it this side when it has sold but this will add a week on to the dispatch time. Please check out my other items for the rest of the collection. The pictures below form part of my description.

The Music Locker prides itself on offering vintage and collectable pre-owned instruments and equipment (the Products).
We take all reasonable steps to ensure the equipment has been inspected by a competent person in the UK to ensure it complies with UK safety standards. This may mean it does not comply with the current standards in the country in which it will be subsequently used. It is the purchasers’ responsibility to ensure it is inspected by a competent person knowledgeable with the relevant electrical safety standards within that country, prior to connecting to any live electrical circuit.
It is the philosophy of The Music Locker to keep all items as original as possible, only changing original components when absolutely necessary. This includes valves, capacitors, transformers, potentiometers, frets, etc. This gives the buyer the option of tailoring to their exact needs, and may mean that the item is not operating at optimum performance levels. Therefore, your personal preference may differ, depending on your circumstances (i.e. collector or musician), and you may decide to service the item in more depth upon receiving.
The Music Locker cannot accept responsibility for any costs of refurbishment to a standard different to the one advertised.
