Gibson's Custom Shop 1959 ES-335 Reissue pays tribute to one of the coolest guitars in rock 'n' roll history. Sporting a pair of Custombucker III pickups, a VOS treatment, and a gorgeous Vintage Burst finish, this semi-hollow is a classic guitar buff's dream come true. Reach out today if you love old-school Gibsons and are in the market for a top-notch ES-335!
Starting with a 3-ply maple/poplar/maple semi-hollow body, this guitar produces a crisp, dynamic tone with plenty of bite. Its '50s rounded medium "C" shaped neck fits the hand like a glove, and its Indian rosewood fingerboard and 22 medium-jumbo frets feel nice and smooth. Players will also love this model's Custombucker III pickups, CTS pots, and Paper-in-Oil capacitors that give it a dead-on '50s rock sound.
On top of its outstanding tone and playability, the 1959 ES-335 Reissue is drop-dead gorgeous. Its Vintage Burst finish gives it a clean, traditional look, while its VOS treatment makes it nearly indistinguishable from a decades-old Gibson. Look no further if you've been searching for an authentic '59 ES-335 without the vintage markup.
A stellar tribute to the golden era of Gibson, the Custom Shop 1959 ES-335 Reissue is perfect for players seeking a masterfully-built guitar that exudes old-school vibes from top to bottom.
