Preliminary Pictures

At Max Guitar Store we take pride in being an authority on high-end guitars, and this stunning Murphy Lab '64 Custom Shop ES-335 is a prime example of why the ES335 has been and is the gold standard in semi-hollow craftsmanship.

This ES-335 isn’t just a showpiece—it’s a true player’s guitar, boasting the resonant, woody character you expect from a vintage model. The legendary neck pickup delivers that warm, glowing tone, while the bridge pickup offers an open, bright sound with just the right amount of jangle. Together, they create a dynamic range of tones perfect for jazz, blues, and rock.

The Medium-C neck profile is a perfect balance—not too thick, not too thin—offering exceptional playability, complemented by a premium Indian Rosewood fingerboard. The Murphy Lab Light Aging treatment adds tasteful wear, with subtle lacquer checking and slight discoloration, giving this instrument an authentic, well-loved look.

Complete with a Custom Shop Hardshell Case, this ES-335 Gold Top is a must-have for serious players and collectors alike.
