This guitar has been thoroughly looked over and fully set up by Rudy’s Music in Manhattan in 2020 and plays amazing!! They restored it to mint condition (new strings; fretwork; polishing; intonation; original parts all tightened up (pickguard put back on etc.).
It’s been featured on numerous recordings and splits the difference between jazzy and indie sonic worlds. This is basically a Byrdland but with more flexibility and possibilities with effects pedals and distortion since it’s a laminate top. Works great in funk, fusion, and even pop scenarios. (The ES-350T was originally made popular by none other than Chuck Berry.)
The guitar is in excellent condition and has minimal wear on the hardware.
Guitar is located in Brooklyn, NY.
