For sale is a 2016 Gibson ES-335 Premier Lightburst Limited Run guitar in mint, essentially as-new condition, serial number 10706771.  I purchased this guitar from Wildwood Guitars in Louisville, CO about one month ago; am selling because I've settled on a 1963 Cherry reissue instead.  It's probably got about 10 hours of playing at home on it total and is still in as-new, mint condition.  I selected this particular guitar as being the better-sounding of the two that Wildwood had at the time, and it has a nice, smooth, classic 335 tone.  My indecision can be your windfall! Note that this is the limited run "Premier" version, with upgraded Gibson MHS (Memphis Historic Spec) pickups and a slightly darker finish compared to the standard ES-335 Figured model.   Here's the description from Sam Ash: "The Limited Run ES-335 Premiere Figured pairs a classic ES construction with several unique appointments including a Faded Lightburst finish over gorgeous figured maple, thermally-treated Adirondack spruce braces, and a thermally-treated maple centerblock. Sonically, this 335 retains that timeless ES resonance and sustain, but the thermally-treated braces and centerblock add some extra warmth to your sound. This top-shelf ES-335 Premiere Figured offers an impeccable playing feel thanks to its redesigned neck dimensions and comfortably rolled neck binding. The old-school Historic truss rod assembly allows for improved adjustability and tension resilience while the block fretboard inlays provide that unmistakable '60s 335 vibe. Equipped with a set of MHS humbuckers and a traditional control compliment featuring "No Logo" 550k Audio Taper pots, the ES-335 Premiere Figured delivers all of those highly sought-after tones that helped make those vintage humbuckers so legendary. For superior performance, the ES-335 Premiere Figured comes loaded up with a set of precise, accurate Grover tuning machines, an ABR-1 bridge with sturdy titanium inserts, a stopbar tailpiece, and a bone nut. Includes hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity from Gibson Memphis."
