Provenance

Why this one made the wall

A 1961 ES-335 in Antique White, given the Heavy Aged treatment in the Murphy Lab. Heavy Aged is the grade that reads as decades of real playing rather than a light checking pass, and on a white finish it does something the cherry and burst versions cannot: the lacquer has yellowed unevenly across the top, so the colour sitting in front of you is warmer and more variable than the one that left the paint booth.

Rounded cutaways, the Authentic '61 Skinny C neck, dot inlays and vintage-replica parts throughout. Unpotted Custombucker Alnico 3s in both positions, paper-in-oil capacitors, CTS 500K audio taper pots. Three-ply maple/poplar/maple body with a solid maple centreblock and no weight relief.

Frequently asked

Questions we get

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

What does the free setup cover?

Every instrument crosses Ian Vance's bench before it ships, and on an online order that setup is free.

What it covers depends on what the guitar needs. Frets, fretboard, hardware, fresh strings, truss rod, action, nut slots, intonation, pickup height and electronics are all part of it, and none of it is an upcharge. The menu above shows the choices you get to make.

Ian's work is described on Repairs and tuning.

What if it is not right when it arrives?

You have 48 hours from the moment it arrives to decide. Email shop@lauzonmusic.com inside that window and we will authorize the return. Nothing comes back unauthorized.

Exchange it for something else and there is no restocking fee, though you cover the shipping on the instrument going back. On a straight refund it is 10% plus the actual shipping both ways.

The full terms are on Shipping and returns.

Can I pay for it over time?

Canadian buyers can pay over time with PayPlan by RBC, chosen as the payment method at checkout. The exact terms come from RBC and are shown to you before you agree to anything.

Financing never changes the price of the guitar. More on Financing.
