Heritage Prospect Thinline Burnt Amber, 2014

On September 30, 2023 /

Heritage guitars, including the Heritage Prospect thinline archtop electric, are built at the historic Gibson plant in Kalamazoo, Michigan. These are very well made instruments, with a high level of consistent quality. The Heritage Prospect is based on the classic thinline semi-hollow archtop design pioneered in 1958 by Gibson with the ES-335.

Gibson ES-335TDC Thinline Cherry Red, 1969

On June 27, 2023 /

Here is a very nice Gibson ES-335TDC in a classic Cherry finish and the reliable Thinline semi-hollow design, built during 1969 at Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Thinline concept was introduced in 1955 to produce a more compact hollowbody archtop electric instrument less prone to feedback.

Gibson Memphis ES-335 Custom with Bigsby Sunburst, 2009

On February 3, 2023 /

Dating to April 23 2009, this Gibson Memphis ES-335 Custom features beautifully flamed Maple and a factory installed Bigsby B7. I think this is one of the best looking 335’s I’ve seen for some time, and the dual-roller Bigsby is far enough back from the bridge to provide a relatively shallow break angle. This shallow angle really improves the smoothness of both arm movement and return to pitch.

On January 11, 2023 /

Here’s a very nice Thinline, Double Pickup, Cherry finish Gibson ES-335TDC, Union Made during 1966 in Kalamazoo, Michigan. The Thinline concept was introduced in 1955 to produce a more compact hollowbody archtop electric instrument less prone to feedback. For the 1958 model year, this was combined with a solid, very feedback resistant center block to create the revolutionary semi-hollow ES-335 – which also carried Gibson’s new humbucking pickups.
