Picked this up earlier this year, but it’s just not getting any playing time, so moving it along. This is the high end version coming out of Japan of the ES-335 built to vintage specs. 100% stock. Proper nitro lacquer, one piece mahogany neck, switchcraft jack and pickup selector, CTS pots...
Bought from Ishibashi a few weeks ago. Smooth transaction with zero issues. Tokai ES210. Love this thing. Easily better than the Gibson Custom Shop I had. I prefer it even to the Collings I had for the 335 thing. Zero complaints (other than needing new pickups, but I knew that going in).
I had one for a time. Absolutely loved it. If the neck wasn’t a smidge too chunky, I’d still have it. The sale funded a new one though. I’ve had several Bartlett’s over the years (have two currently I purchased new from Tom). All have been fantastic.
Also, what doesn’t get emphasized enough is...
Cleaning out some parts I’ve been hanging onto. See photos below. Hit me up with questions via PM. Lead lengths are 11” on the bridge and 13.5” on the neck. Looking for $900 shipped/ppl’d. No Trades. Thanks!!!
Lightly aged Throbak SLE-101 MKVs. These came out of a brand new McInturff Carolina Custom right after Terry delivered the guitar to me. Bridge lead length is 8.5” and neck lead length is 13.5”. Looking for $425 shipped/ppl’d. Would consider trade for ReWind PAF-1 set, but that’s it. PM...
