TWO LYLE ES-335 HOLLOW BODY GUITARS-MADE IN JAPAN-MIJ

HELLO AND THANK YOU FOR VISITING MY AUCTION, WHEN I BOUGTH THESE GUITARS I WAS ON AN ES-335 BODY KICK AND HAVENT DONE ANYTHING WITH THEM.   THEY ARE TRULY BEAUTIFUL GUITARS SOLID 8'S COSMETICALLY, TRIPLE BINDING ON THE FRONT AND FRETBOARD OF BOTH GUITARS.  THE GENTLEMAN THAT I BOUGHT THESE FROM TOLD ME THE WERE MADE BY THE SAME FACTORY THAT WAS MAKING THE RED LABLE EPIPHONES AND I THINK THEY SHOULD STAY TOGETHER.

FIRST IS A 12 STRING ES-335 MODEL 1212, VERY GOOD CONDITION PHYSICALLY ONLY REALLY VISIBLE SCRATCH IS ON THE TOP OF THE HEAD STOCK AND VERY LITTLE BUCKLE RASH ON THE BACK.   THE ELECTRONICS WORK BUT THE POTS ARE SCRATCHY.  THE ORINGINAL NUT WAS CHIPPED AND A BONE NUT WAS INSTALLED (I WILL INCLUDE THE ORINGINAL TOO).   I WILL ALSO INCLUDE TWO THREADED SPACERS THAT WENT UNDER THE SADDLE BUT MADE THE STRING HEIGHT SOMEWHAT HIGH SO THEY WERE REMOVED.    THE TUNNING PEGS ARE ALL OPEN CASE AND MOVE GOOD WITH A FEW BEING A LITTLE TIGHTER THAN OTHERS.   ONCE AGAIN THIS GUITAR IS IN TERIFFIC CONDITION BUT IT IS MISSING A STRING AND NOT FULLY TUNED, CAUSE I DONT KNOW HOW TO TUNE A 12 STRING.  

SECOND GUITAR IS A TRINI LOPEZ STYLE GUITAR, THIS ONE IS ALSO IN VERY GOOD CONDITION.  THE ONLY VISIBLE SCRATCH IS ON THE TOP OF THE HEADSTOCK.   THE PLAYABILITY OF THIS  GUITAR IS GOOD BUT THE ADJUSTING NUTS ON THE SADDLE WERE REMOVED (WILL INCLUDE THOSE TOO) AND THE NECK WAS SHIMMED.  ONLY ONE OF THE PICKUPS WORKS ON THIS GUITAR,  THERE IS NO SOUND OUT OF THE BRIDGE PICKUP BUT I AM ABLE TO GET A RESISTANCE READING OUT OF IT, SO IT MIGHT BE A BAD POT.   THERE IS NO OPENING ON THE BACK TO GET TO THE ELECTRONICS AND IM AFFRAID TO TRY AND PULL THEM OUT AND NOT BE ABLE TO PUT THEM BACK.  THE TREMOLO SYSTEM WORKS AND APPEARS TO BE ALL.  THIS GUITAR DOES HAVE A VERY BEAT UP CHEAP CARDBOARD CASE, IT IS VERY OLD AND COULD BE THE ORIGINAL FOR THIS GUITAR BUT NOT SURE.  THESE ITEMS CAME FROM A SMOKERS HOME, THE SMELL IS PRETTY MUCH GONE FROM THE GUITARS BUT THE CASE COULD HAVE A SLIGHT SMELL, DON'T FORGET A LOT OF THESE VINTAGE GUITARS WERE IN SMOKED FILLED BARS AND SUCH.

I WILL BE MORE THAN HAPPY TO AWNSER ANY QUESTIONS,  AS BOTH GUITARS NEED A LITTLE WORK TO BE FULLY WORKING AND THANKS FOR LOOKING!
