'68 ES-335 value?

kevinsaturday · 10-09-2008, 11:11 AM

i just found a 1968 ES-335 in a store near me, it is all original apart from a set of grovers, the neck has a fair bit of wear and the headstock is a bit bashed.
can anyone tell me the value of this?

I can't, but I played a similar one recently and it was oh, so sweet. How much are they asking, and can you provide any photos?

Is that the one in Glasgow Scotland by any chance? Long shot I know- but I saw one there the other day, just as you describe..

Yeah, I had a wee quick strum. I really liked it, but I thought that was a lot of money for a late '60's 335 with so much wear. No neck repair though, which is a plus.

You can get '68's in much better condition for a lot less on eBay, but it depends on how you feel about buying guitars based on a few photos and a description..

That guitar certainly has plenty of MOJO if that is your thing!
