Gabrsek “a.k.a. Freddy Frets” ES-335 ’59RI Tribute. If you know boutique builders then you understand what this is. Freddy was Alex Lifson’s tech for years. If you watch the Youtube video you can see this masterpiece is hand created. The neck is shaped using old-school techniques and tools. The nitro finish skillfully applied.
WATCH THIS YOUTUBE VIDEO FOR BUILD DETAILS AND SOUND DEMO:
I can rave about how this is a steal of a guitar vs Gibson Historic, Yaron, etc…or you can watch the Youtube video and see that for yourself. These guitars aren’t just made…they are custom ordered by people who know the best and pay for the best…then wait for the best to be created. Guys who commission builds like these could have puchased anything they wanted (and usually have). They ultimately seek out Freddy because of his underground rep as being “the” guy for modern recreations.

This one has some checking and knob cracking due to a shipping issue from the customer. It is HEAVILY discounted to reflect the light checking. Everything is a-ok structurally. Save $2k from where this last sold (by me).
