Forget about Gibson . These guitars are made by the old luthiers who made guitars at the Gibson factory at 225 Parson's street in Kalamazoo Michigan before Gibson moved to Nashville and for around a thousand dollars cheaper than the Gibson's of today. A slight adjustment to the intonation was all that was necessary when I unpacked mine. If you can't tune your guitar ...get an experienced buddy to help set it up or find a local luthier to set up the guitar for you . ....Love the medium fat neck which is characteristic of the old Gibson 59 ES 335 Gibson's. The workmanship and nitrocellulose finish is impeccable. There just isn't a finer guitar on the market for the money . If you want a guitar that is made by the original craftsmen who were at Gibson back in the day then ya better get one soon. These guys,like you and me, are not gonna be around forever ! Dennis M.

I have owned many Gibson 335's and they are a really cool guitar, especially the one's that were made on Parson's street. It's seems the only way to get that quality out of Gibson anymore is to still get the H-535 that is still being produced on Parson's street by the Luther's that designed the 335 in the first place. You cannot find that quality from the company calling itself Gibson from Nashville TN. We know who the real Gibson is and where they have always been. As for the guy who wrote the bad review, it goes to show that that dude just doesn't know very much about great guitars! Unfortunately we have to read nonsense from people who don't even know how to setup guitars. Let me apologize for his ignorance.

As another reviewer pointed out, these are built in the original Gibson factory at 224 Parsons Street in Kalamazoo, MI. They are built by Gibson retirees that didn't want to follow Gibson to Nashville and build guitars on CNC machines. Unfortunately, we are starting to lose some of these craftsmen and age catches up to them. They are trained a new generation of luthiers to build guitars the old way, but their experience can not be replaced. Some have been there since the late 1950s. Today's Nashville Gibson is barely touched by human hands. It's cut out on a CNC machine, the frets are installed, leveled and dressed by a Plek machine. The paint is shot by a robot. About the only human involved is the person packing it into it's case and shipping box. There ain't no mojo in a robo

the neck has no bow to it and the strings buzz because of it.. it can not be adjusted...no matter how high the bridge is raised, it doesn't help...the buzz is still there....
