Models We Buy
ES-335
Dot-neck & early block-inlay; stoptail or Bigsby; clean or player-grade welcome.

Varitone & stereo wiring (original harness = premium). Sunburst, Cherry, custom colors.
ES-355
Upscale appointments, ebony boards; mono/stereo variations; factory hardware matters.
What Makes an ES-335 Valuable?
- Era & Specs: Late-’50s/’60s dot-neck and early block-inlay 335s are highly sought; factory stoptail vs. Bigsby can affect value.
- Pickups & Electronics: PAFs/Early Patent No. pickups and original harnesses command premiums; Varitone/stereo on 345/355 has its own market.
- Finish & Color: Factory Cherry and Sunburst lead; custom colors (e.g., Pelham Blue) can lift price.
- Originality: Factory plastics, hardware, and finish help; changed bridges/tuners may impact pricing—but player-grade is welcome.
- Neck & Condition: Comfortable ’59–’64 profiles are popular; pro headstock/heel repairs can still sell well with documentation.
- Provenance: Receipts and history meaningfully increase offers.

What Other Sellers Say
5 out of 5 stars “Brought my 1962 ES-335. They pointed out original PAFs and the stoptail, gave me comps, and the offer made sense. Zero pressure.”
5 out of 5 stars “My ’90s 335 with a factory Bigsby. They explained value with and without the Bigsby and paid me same day.”
5 out of 5 stars “Shipped a ’68 ES-335 . Honest about a headstock repair, still a strong offer. Funds hit the same afternoon.”
5 out of 5 stars “Consigned my block-neck 335 from. Great photos, steady updates—netted more than I expected.”
Why the ES-335 Stands Out
From B.B. King and Larry Carlton to Noel Gallagher, the ES-335’s semi-hollow snap and sustain shaped blues, rock, and beyond—great news if you’re selling.
Quick Answers
Do you buy ES-345 and ES-355 as well?
Yes—ES-335, ES-345, and ES-355 are all welcome. Original pickups/electronics (e.g., Varitone/stereo on 345/355) can add value, but tasteful mods or pro repairs can still bring strong offers.
Do mods or refins hurt value?
Originality helps, but quality work can still bring strong offers depending on parts and era.
How fast can I get paid?
Usually within 24–48 hours after we agree on a deal.
