Hi guys - I hope you're all safe and healthy!

A guy is offering to sell me this 2008 ES335. Is this a Custom Shop ES335? 59 reissue? What am I looking at in the pics?

That's a regular Memphis 335. A historic would not have the serial number on the headstock. F-hole sticker only beginning with A.

Thanks Tim! If I wanted to search for this model to see what it is selling for, what model should I use in the search?

IIRC, DPA is the model designation for the Gibson "Fat Neck" 335's.
All Fat Necks had the long pick guard as well
