The pickup selector was a rotary switch on the lower horn with a new round knob with a lever (versus the old chicken beak). It was a full size ES-335-style with two pickups (the large rectangular type with chrome sides and black insert, square poles), bound f-holes, volume and tone controls on the lower bout (no plastic plate) and a fancy new angular archtop Bigsby and roller bridge. The Vegas 40 (Teisco Del Rey EP-11T) double-cutaway thinline was promoted both in Japan and the U.S. The top of the archtop line featured two very nifty new models called the Vegas 40 and Vegas 66. Here is a list of the flaws as most do not show up well in the photos: Small chips and signs of wear on the headstock very few signs of damage or wear on the neck, almost pristine c racks present on the lacquer finish of the body Small chips and cracks on the sides of the body a few spots of oxidation across the metal sections of the guitar.Ĭlick on the photos to zoom in and see more shots. Everyone in the office has fallen for this one… In superb condition with only minor flaws, complete with case which appears to be original. This is a gorgeous and rare guitar and a worthy homage to Gibson’s revered 335. Stunning vintage guitar, dating from c1966 (see below for info from Vintage Guitar).
