1980 GIBSON FIREBRAND 335-S STANDARD
This Gibson Firebrand 335-S Standard is a rare model which was available for less than two years, from 1980 to 1981. Compared to other firebrands on Reverb.com this definitely has the most beautiful warm walnut finish (others look somewhat dried and faded.) Probably because it hasn't left its case in years protecting the finish. A few dings and minor scratches around the body and a little wear on the back of the neck. Truly excellent condition for a rare vintage guitar.All parts are 100% original. I am the 2nd owner of this beautiful guitar. I haven't touched it in years and would like to give it to someone who can put it to better use.It is an ES-335 sculpted double-cutaway solid maple bodied electric guitar with a three piece maple neck and unbound rosewood fingerboard equipped with zebra Gibson Super humbucking pickups and two volume and two tone controls with a three way selector switch. This 335-S Standard is part of the Firebrand Series and they have "Firebrand 335-S Standard" engraved on the truss rod cover.SPECIFICATIONS
