Sublime

An outstanding Japanese copy of the venerable ES335. Sublime playability. Mine has Gibson burstbucker pickups and tone pros Kluson tuners.

I theought the es100 was a Korean-made tokai, am I wrong? I have been on the lookout for an older tokai 335 copy in natural at a good price, but to no avail... they command some hefty pricetags these days, might as well buy a new Gibson Memphis dot

Definitely Japanese made, Jim
