Production: 1958:317, 1959:592, 1960:514, 1961:886, 1962:876, 1963:1156, 1964:1241, 1965:1750, 1966:2524, 1967:5718, 1968:3760, 1969:2197 General Comments: The Gibson ES-335 guitar with its semi-hollowbody construction is a great guitar. The solid maple block down the center of the body minimizes feedback, but the hollow body wings gives good sustain, tone and weight. This model is most desirable with a stop tailpiece and a large neck size. Also the dot fingerboard inlays (aka 'Dot Neck') version is also desirable. Additionally the long pickguard (pre-1961) models are also nice.

Bottom line, the 1958 and 1959 models with stop tailpieces are considered the best. Alternatively I like the 1963 and 1964 models with a stop tailpiece, because the neck shape is nice. A Bigsby vibrato on the 1958 to 1964 models hurts the demand of this guitar. Also the 1960 to 1962 style 'thin' neck also hurts demand (compared to the earlier 'large neck' models, but this is a general fact of all Gibsons of this era). If you need to figure out the exact year of your Gibson ES335, use the serial number. This is located inside the body, on an orangle label inside the body's bass-side 'f' hole. See the for help determining the exact year.
