Description: 

Here for your consideration is a 1998 Japanese made Epiphone ES-335 Dot in very good condition! A stunning cherry finish and an amazing playing 335! Overall in great shape with some general playwear and surface marks/scuffs and has some sort of finish reaction with some "Dots" (no pun intended) on parts of the finish. They can't really be seen unless under the right light and angle. Otherwise body is in very good overall shape with no major damage. Neck is overall in very good condition. We cannot be 100% sure but there may have been a headstock repair as there is a difference in finish at the neck joint. If so it is extremely well done and almost un-noticeable - cannot feel anything and has zero affect on play.  Pickguard has been removed but the holes remain in good condition so one could be easily be added. Previous owner also felt the need to relocate strap buttons a few times so there are two sets of old/filled holes (see photos). Headstock shows some light surface marks and some marks along the edge but is otherwise clean. Fretbaord is in excellent shape. Frets show some light wear and divots but have no issues with buzzing or dead spots and have plenty of life left. Hardware shows some aging, light wear, and pitting on the stop bar. Electronics work great and have been thoroughly cleaned. Featuring a set of PAF style humbuckers that sound fantastic. Overall a few minor cosmetic issues, but we have discounted the price accordingly. Otherwise this is an absolutely incredible playing 335! Has been fully inspected and set up by our tech and ready for a new home. Includes Epiphone gig bag. See below for a list of specs.

Definitely Worth It
Quick and easy process. Coffee maker died and I had the insurance. Refunded and only ended up paying the price of insurance. Would do it again!

Claim was easy, speedy, and Amazon gift card was applied almost immediately.
I had to make a claim for a Ninja blender that was emitting an odor of burning or melting wires. I called a service representative thinking I might encounter a problem and was surprised. The agent was helpful and made the entire process so easy I applaud her! The Amazon gift card was posted to my account almost immediately after UPS picked the product up. I have decided that for products with a large number of parts and electronics that can fail I will purchase Asurion protection.

Asurion "Assures" nothing!
Asurion has terrible Customer Support. All machine based. They give you no phone # for human interaction. Their online Support process is very close-ended. It is a checklist designed to frustrate purchasers whose issue lies outside only the very issue. My issue: I bought "Cuisinart TOB-40FR Custom Classic Toaster Oven Broiler, Silver (Renewed)" on May 26, 2024. It stated it had a 90 day warranty. So I bought an Asurion Protection Plan also to cover it for 3 years. The toaster started flaking off metal finish inside the oven over the cooking area. I tried to file a claim with Asurion and they told me the Manufacturers warranty was still in effect and I should contact Cuisinart. This despite the oven was sold with a Amazon Renewed verbiage stating a 90 day warranty. And they have nothing on their "Machine Checklist" to cover this eventuality. And I would assume I am not the only one who takes the "Renewed" route and backs it up with a "Protection Plan". They will frustrate you no end. I suspect, like many insurances, they seek to deny, deny, deny, in hopes the purchaser will give up.

GIFT CARD AS REPLACEMENT, NO CHOICE OF CHECK OR REPLACEMENT. GOOD COMPANY
PROS: * A decent company, responsive and fair. * Allows you to buy items from anywhere you want, and buy the warranty at Amazon. * Provides better coverage than other warranties, and covers more, including breakage! CON: They don't send you a check in order to buy wherever you want, send a replacement, or give you a choice. Instead, they send you an Amazon Gift Card. That's OK if you're a big Amazon shopper, but sometimes, you can get a better price elsewhere.

Asurion has been outstanding. Their customer service is quick, reliable, and efficient.
Every time I’ve had a problem, Asurion has been outstanding. Their customer service is quick, reliable, and efficient, and they handle claims with minimal hassle. It’s reassuring to know they actually follow through and resolve issues promptly.
