Here's a photo of one of my main squeezes, my '63 ES-355TD, factory mono and stop tailpiece, per the Gibson ledgers shipped 11/21/63..it sounds and plays great with that extra bite ebony boards seem to bring! Hope to hear from other 355 fans. eace2
I really need to get around to taking new photos, but here is my early 1959 355. Stinger headstock. perfect 59 neck.
Does your 355 have the classic "Mickey Mouse ears?" yes, MM
1) PAFs or PATNos? Pat# pups
2) Big neck or thin? BIG neck profile
3) Varitone cut-out? Yes, cutout
4) Original Kluson wafflebacks, ES-355TD, written, stamped serial # 139XXX

Thanks!
I wonder if it's the extra binding that makes the MM ears hard to see sometimes? Especially up close.
Oh yeah. This 60 Mono is the one that finally kicked my Burst out the door. The pickups are untouched double whites measuring 8.38k bridge, 8.24k neck.
