No Historic 335's built in Nashville in any way or any part of or any assembly or anything since 2006(?) or so...someone could correct the exact year that the transition was.
All 335's are built in Memphis now.
gibson customer service told me recently that only historic 335's were made in nashville.

My bad...sorry folks, I hate spreading WRONG info. I could have sworn ALL 335 Hsitorics moved from Nashville.
I'm just not that crazy about the lutheirs in Memphis.
"Luthiers in Memphis??? There are no luthiers in Memphis " :applaude :lol
You are correct, Sir! My bad.
It's a bit of a tough joke of course - but they actually did sign up with furniture makers ...
No wonder that I cannot find a decently made Gibson coming out of Memphis.
They might be getting better as time goes on, but if a furniture maker moves into Memphis, Gibson will see a lot of their "custom shop" Memphis people leaving for their real vocation.

Unfortunately many CS ES-335s suffer the same quality level as the Memphis guitars do. I don't know exactly what they do to the finger boards when dressing frets - but it looks as they remove both fret material AND wood with their fret files or whatever tool they use for that opeartion (electric angle cutter??? )
