It's so great to find a 70s Gibson like this.  It has character, but it is also really clean, and it plays great with low action and no issues whatsoever.  The walnut finish is deep and dark.  

The guitar shows a good bit of yellowing to the clearcoat.  It has either been played in smoky bars back in the day, or hung on the wall where someone did a ton of bong hits.  It does not smell smoky, however - it just looks like it should.  Maybe that past is really far back so the annoying smell remnant has disappeared.  Someone played through the yellowing, as noted by the whiter parts of the binding.

The factory coil tap switch delivers a host of tones you can't normally get from a 335.  

All parts and the frets are original.  Frets show some use but are not in need of work and have enough life left to last for years.

The original case is included.
