    Description

    This is probably a 1966 to 1969 Gibson Kalamazoo electric neck. Sold to me on Ebay as a ES 335 model but Gibson type is not certain. However it is full scale 24.75 inch scale with mahogany back and Brazilian rosewood fret board. This is the dot neck with open b and o and pearl-oid Gibson and crown inlays which were used from 1951 to 1969 Gibson electric guitars. There is a sketchy , unclear serial number which looks to start with a 66XXsomething and stamped about three times ?. Gibson saw cut , skinned the side of frets 17 and up on the  high E side .All the skinned frets still have some of the bevels on the sides, except seventeen is a bit sketchy with a fret board cut at seventeen. When a normal nut is installed the high E  frets 17 and up , all will still play well. 17 high E may not work well. 19 side marker is scuffed,and 3rd fret side marker is missing. Neck and truss rod are straight and with proper bow. Frets are very good for play wear being wide, somewhat tall, and solid with almost no wear.Tuner holes look original as do the screw hole mounts for the tuners. I guess Gibson Kalamazoo put this in the trash in 1966 because the serial number was done poorly, or the top of the Gibson inlay around G ib is a bit off. Gibson skinned the side of 17 and up and trashed it. There is some fret wear,so it must have been used after the trashing. The current heel is, from fret board to bottom of heel, about a half inch thicker than a Fender neck.  Considering the strength of the heel, It would probably be fine if wood screwed as to a Fender body. See pictures. But, heel would be modified or repaired to fit desired guitar .
