1959 Gibson ES-335 Sunburst Near Mint

Near mint (really) early 59 ES-335. Sealed PAFs (8.23K and 7.97K), original everything. Good neck angle (full size ABR-1 with room to lower). Big fat neck and, because it's a 58 FON, thin top. Serial number dates it to mid to late February of 59. This is a no issue, collector grade guitar in 9.5+ condition. Finish shines like new and shows NO checking. There are two little dings on the side of the headstock and one little chip under the guard. That's it. And the case. Cleanest brown case I've ever seen and I've seen a ton of them. All the leather on the handle is there-you never see that. Even the case pocket pull ribbon is all there. Not a mark on it. Extraordinary. Oh, and did I mention the case key is still sealed in its envelope? And it has the dealer hang tag and the ABR-1 and PAF instructions in their original manila envelope. This is good as a collector grade 335 gets.
