Well, I've had many models over the years, but the closest thing I have now is my '62 Epi Sheraton. Never took enough good photos of my 330's, 335/345/355's, among others, but I have photos of a few of the cooler ES guitars I've had in the past...

1940 ES-250N

I think this wins for most rare! :bug Very cool!

2008 Nashville Historic sunburst ES 335 "Arizona"
Heavier than the other three and the neck is meaningful.

Reinhart, mine certainly has faded a lot, nut its fair to say colours are complex. deep reds on the edge, very little straight black. hard to describe but the look is fantastic.

Thanks Mike. Yes, all still with me. I think of it more as caretaking than ownership. Everything pictured is 1959. I have a few more I will add from other years.

ES335TD · Mar 30, 2013

Here's my factory blonde 1964 lefty and a shot of my '63 reissue being completed at Historic Makeovers. I'll have a gigging guitar that looks and plays like the real thing.
