Tom Murphy's team checks the nitrocellulose, wears the finish, and ages the nickel hardware to replicate sixty years of honest playing. Underneath is a proper '61 ES-335: a 3-ply maple\/poplar\/maple semi-hollow body with 1-ply Royalite binding, weighing 7.6 lbs. Serial #120197\u003ccode\u003e\u003c\/code\u003e dates it to 2022. The guitar is in mint condition with little to no non-original wear beyond the factory aging, and it comes complete with case candy and the Gibson Custom Certificate of Authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe mahogany neck is carved to Gibson's Authentic '61 Skinny C profile (.805\" at the 1st fret, .920\" at the 12th) in Murphy Lab Heavy Aged nitro, set into the body for the sustain and tonal transfer a 335 depends on. The Skinny C is the fast one — an early-'60s dimension that suits players who work above the 12th fret. An Indian rosewood fretboard with 1-ply Royalite binding and mother-of-pearl dot inlays sits over a 12\" radius, with 22 medium jumbo frets, a 24.75\" scale length, and a 1 11\/16\" nylon nut. The headstock carries the mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and crown inlays. Hardware is aged nickel throughout: an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge, a lightweight aluminum stopbar tailpiece, and Kluson single-line tuners.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThe pickups are unpotted Custombuckers with AlNiCo III magnets, the same recipe Gibson uses across its top Historic builds. Unpotted is the detail that matters — the wax-free construction lets the coils breathe and respond the way originals do, with a touch-sensitive, microphonic edge that rewards players who work their volume knob and gets genuinely lively at high gain. Wired to two volumes, two tones, and a 3-way toggle, the range runs from woody, vocal neck-position tones to bridge bite that stays articulate. Whether you're a blues or roots player who wants a vintage-feeling 335 without a vintage price, a working guitarist after an instrument that already looks lived-in, or a collector drawn to Murphy Lab's top aging tier, this one delivers. This Used 2022 Gibson Custom 1961 ES-335 Heavy Aged (Serial #120197) includes its original Gibson Custom hardshell case, the black pickguard, case candy, and the Certificate of Authenticity.
