On a recent tour of the Gibson facility in Memphis where they make their semi acoustic range (ES) it was pointed out that they stopped their practice of discounting less than perfect product (seconds) many years ago and simply put the bandsaw through anything in that category. I understand that the same goes for their acoustic instruments(Montana) and everything else (Nashville)
That said I have a 1978 ES335 marked (2)--I've spent 30 years looking for any defect!!
