1959 Gibson ES-335 TDN, from my buddy's collection.
This was an outtake from our photo session for Vic DaPra and David Plues' "ES Believers" book. I just got my copy and it's pretty packed with incredible stuff! Sadly this specific guitar didn't make it into print, but I was tickled to see that the authors did use our photos for several double-page spreads showing other guitars from this collection, including a couple of natural 175s, a natural ES330, a natural ES350, and a couple of cherry ES335s!
The long-guard ES-335 is quite a rare guitar, especially in "natural" finish, so I was surprised this one didn't make it into the book. But just thumbing through it now, I think I can see why they didn't need to use it: they apparently were spoiled for choice on natural 3xx thinlines! There is a veritable plethora of them in the book - at least a dozen (including a super rare, very early, 1958 model!), which is pretty insane considering how few of them there are out there.
So, I can sort of see why the authors didn't need to use this guitar, especially after they used so many of our other shots (for which, I thank them sincerely!) 🙂
