This listing is for a very cool and great playing Vintage 1980 Gibson Firebrand Custom 335-S Electric Solidbody Guitar. This guitar was made in the USA by Gibson in 1980. This is a cool model that was released in the late 1970’s with the Firebrand SG and “The Paul” models of solid body guitars. This one is in player grade condition and plays and sounds great but does have repairs and changed parts so please read the complete description.
The guitar is in good playing condition and has low and comfortable action and plays great. The guitar has a headstock repair that has been professionally repaired and is solid and stable. The pickups are not original and have been replaced with Seymour Duncan 59’s. The pots and wiring harness are original and the pots date to 1980. This is the Custom version of the 335-S Firebrand which means it came originally with the coil-tap mini toggle switch and TP-6 fine tuning tailpiece. The tuners are not original but are vintage Schallers tuners and almost identical to the originals but just don’t have the Gibson logo. The bridge and tailpiece are original and the guitar is missing the pickguard.
Cosmetically the guitar is in good condition. As mentioned before, the guitar has a repair at the headstock that was well done and is very strong and stable. Someone also painted the front of the headstock black. We assume this was done when the headstock was repaired. The finish is otherwise original. The guitar has some normal cosmetic play wear such as nicks, dings and scratches and belt buckle wear.
The guitar comes with a non original hard shell case and will be expertly packed for safe shipping. Please look at the pictures and message with questions.
