Hi there,

I'm thinking about letting this guitar go as I can't find the time it deserves.
For those who don't know, it's a faithful recreation of the first ever produced 335 model from 1958. "Mickey Mouse Ears" body shape, unbound neck, dot inlays, hide glue jointing (body & neck, Adirondack Spruce bracing), all maple top, handcrafted at the Memphis Custom Shop and only produced for a short period ('16-'18 as far as I know).
Guitar comes in almost new condition, with Certificate of Authenticity, some case candy and original invoice, no dings, scratches or anything to speak of. Neck is well rounded and has a beefy C profile.

Some factory specs:
Body: Correct ’58 shape with “Mickey Mouse ears”
Fingerboard: Unbound rosewood with dot inlays
Potentiometers: Matched 550k potentiometers
Construction: Historic body and neck construction
Truss rod: Tubeless Historic truss rod
Pickups: MHS humbuckers
Frets: Period-correct .100″ x .045″ fret wire
Finish: VOS for a gently aged look

Guitar can of course be played before purchase - feel free to bring your own amp or choose one of mine, my location is in Portugal, not too far from Lisbon - further details by p.m.
If requested I can also arrange shipping, just get in touch for a quote.

I'm thinking of around € 4.200,- as a starting point, but am open to reasonable offers.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Thanks
