My '68 ES335
(SN 953914)
The the guitar I have always wanted.
I first found this '68 ES335 in a music
store in 1977. My wife didn't like it as it was (cherry) red.
So I was content to keep playing my
1963 modified Firebird-I.
In 1989 I ask my brother in law if he knew of anyone who had a ES335 for
sale. He said he had two in his attic; a '65 with a Bixby tail piece and
a '68 without one. I immediately went to his house looked at the two, and
re-fell in love with the wine red '68. He was working at the music store
where I had originally saw the '68. He bought it, so it is the actual one
that I had wanted 12 years before.
To make the purchase, I sold my '63
Firebird-I and my '58
Dan Electro.
