Original Description:
This is a original 2006 and not a copy.  I have the original pickguard and truss rod cover which has never been installed.  Only 70 of these guitars were made for the first run in 2006.   All 70 sold out in 2 hours of being made available. The main difference that identified this as a 2006 is the Roy Orbison postage stamp on the back of the head-stock, as this was not on the 2007 issues.  I have tried to find one of these for sale and there are none out there.&...nbsp; Those who know this guitar, also know how rare it is.Since this guitar was a limited production from Gibson many people may not know the answer:
Roy's guitar as seen on "Black and White Nights"was his mainstay Gibson Ebony ES 335 used throughout his career. His original guitar was inspected, documented and reproduced by Gibson, There was an initial run of 70 guitars, and the second run of 200 guitars. The differences in the guitars was the serial numbering fonts used as well as a postage stamp on the back of the first run head-stock , which the second run did not have. The binding was whiter on the first run, and on the second run the binding has a more naturally aged look. Other than that they both were direct replicas of the ES 335 that Roy Orbison used throughout his career. Complete with Roy Orbison truss rod signature cover, appointments of Roy's 335 and the limited run serial number.
The Gibson ‘InspiredBy’ Roy Orbison ES-335 Features– Maple Top, Back, And Sides Mahogany Neck With Long Tenon (1959 Rounded Profile) 24 3/4“ Scale-Length Rosewood Fretboard With 22 Frets Cream Binding On Top, Back & Neck Dual ’57 Classic Humbuckers Two Volume & Two Tone Controls 3-Way Pickup Switching Signature Engraved On Truss Rod Cover Roy Orbison ”Stamp“ On Back Of Headstock Antiqued Nickel ABR-1 Bridge & TP-6 Tailpiece
This guitar has been in my collection for some time now. I have decided to sell part of the collection since I am not that involved in collecting any longer.  This guitar has been in the case for most of its life and only played a handful of times.  I installed a pickguard and truss rod cover and kept the originals for the guitar off of it so they would not be damaged.  The original pick-guard still has the original covering on it-see pics.  The original case is included.  If you have any questions, please email me.
I just lowered the price so please don't try and low ball me, only reasonable offers will be considered.
Please contact me for shipping details.
