Amazing copy of an ES-335. Semi-Acoustic, looks to be mahogany body & neck with a rosewood fretboard. Standard Gibson layout, 2 Humbuckers, 2 Vol, 2 Tone 3-Way toggle. Ornate trapeze tailpiece & metal tulip button Electra tuners.

Sounds pretty much like an ES-335 should, neck pickup seems to have a little more bite than the bridge. Pickups seem much more mellow and soulfull than the normal Electra design pickups.

If only Gibson were setting up guitars like this in the 70's. Everything is perfect in my opinion, this is the nicest Electra I've had my hands on. Great action, great frets.

These Electras, especially the mid to late 70's models are workhorses. Everything looks original and untouched on this 1976 guitar...not too shappy for a 28 year old!
Customer Support

Saint Louis Music has been VERY helpful in the past, but there new direction seems to be pretty much hands off on Electras...you can't blame them, they stopped making these guitars 20 years ago...still, they did come with a lifetime warranty ;-)
Overall Rating

I've owned a truckload of guitars including Gibsons & Fenders. This one ranks right up there with the best I've owned.
