🔥 1994 Gibson ES-335 Dot Figured – Vintage Sunburst with Real Mojo! 🔥

Ready to own a work horse that looks, feels, and sounds like it’s been on stage for decades? This 1994 ES-335 Dot Figured in Vintage Sunburst is the real deal — a killer semi-hollow that delivers that fat, singing ES tone with modern reliability.

The Look

The figured maple top pops beautifully under the classic vintage sunburst finish — warm amber in the center fading into rich cherry and dark edges. It’s aged gracefully with moderate play wear that gives it serious mojo. Light checking, honest belt-buckle rash, and forearm wear tell the story of a guitar that’s been loved and played, not hidden in a case. No major dings or cracks — just the perfect amount of battle scars that make it feel like home the second you pick it up.

The Mod & Setup

•  Factory trapeze tailpiece was swapped for a stop tailpiece (a very common and tone-enhancing upgrade on these).

•  Original holes are neatly plugged on the top and bottom edge — clean work that’s barely noticeable unless you’re hunting for it.

•  Professionally setup and dialed in right now for optimal tone, playability, and low action. It plays like a dream — smooth fretboard, perfect intonation, and that instant “locked-in” feel.

This thing is in very good overall condition for it's age & in 100% perfect working order. Neck is straight, electronics are quiet and responsive, and everything functions flawlessly.

The Tone

You already know what an ES-335 does: buttery warm cleans, juicy midrange growl, and singing leads with incredible sustain and feedback control. The figured top and stop tail give this one extra punch and clarity while keeping all that legendary semi-hollow magic. Whether you play blues, rock, jazz, or indie, this guitar will inspire you every time you plug in.

Serious players only — this is a gig-ready, tone monster that looks as good as it sounds.

Priced to move for a fast sale. Serious inquiries only. Comes with original hard case.

Don’t let this one get away — these ’94 Dots with figured tops and real road wear are getting harder to find in this condition. Grab it before it’s gone! 🎸
