1990 Epiphone ES 335 Elitist SOLD

1990 Epiphone ES 335 Elitist

First time we have had one of these Epiphone Elite or Elitist 335’s This one is from 1990 and is a superb guitar and was totally amazed at how good it plays and sounds. I think its called a 1963 issue which is surprising as it has a dot neck instead of what should be correct for 1963 block markers. The neck however is definitely a slim profile 60’s carve which is very comfortable. It weighs in at 7 lbs 9 oz with a neck pickup reading of 6.8 k ohms and bridge 7.6 k ohms on what i believe are Gibson USA 50 SR and 50 ST Pickups. In fact all the hardware is nickel Gibson USA including thew ABR1 and pick guard bracket. It’s had its factory Grover tuning pegs switched to a more traditional looking double ring Kluson peg, you can just see the the original screw holes adjacent to the tuner body. Maybe the truss rod cover has been replaced as i’m thinking it should have “Elitist” etched on it. Non of the original parts come with the guitar and the strap pins look to be of the locking type. The guitar is in very good condition for its years with just some light checking and negligible fret wearing it comes in a fitted Epiphone hard shell case.
