1982 Vintage Gibson "Firebrand" 335S Custom Shop w/ Tim Shaw Dirty Fingers P/U & Case. Tim Shaw Dirty Fingers pickups dated 1982. Body has a date stamped 1981. Gibson says it's a 1982, also Gibson says it is refinished, but we, at the store, doubt that this guitar was not refinished by Gibson itself, they can't give us provenance, there is no records of a black 335-S, but the paint job is like factory original 80's gibsons. Under the black light the guitar has all the same paint. Decal and logos are original, not reproduction, the guitar has all the original parts (apart from the bridge). Kahler bridge is not original and it was routed probably in the 1980's.
This could be a "one of black 335-s", but we can't prove it. This is a 335-S from 1982.
Frets are low, guitar plays medium low and everything works as it should.
