Gibson Custom Shop 1959 ES-335 Reissue VOS Vintage Burst

What we say:

At A Glance:

Gibson Custom Shop have spent a lot of time analysing originals in order to create this historically accurate 1959 ES-335 Reissue. Every detail has been expertly recreated to produce a classic guitar but without any of the problems associated with vintage instruments. The '59 Medium C shape neck is made from solid mahogany and the 3 ply body (maple/poplar/maple) projects sound well while the solid maple centerblock provides stability and helps when plugged in. The Custombucker pickups produce a sweet vintage sound and make this guitar suitable for blues, jazz, rock... almost any genre really. A perfect recreation of a real classic.

Features We Love:

Custombucker Alnico III Pickups

Gibson have not stopped at the aesthetics but have made sure that the pickups here also perform to the same high standard as the guitar itself. Taking influence from PAF tones, they offer a warm, well balanced and full sound. This means they handle clean tones just as well as when you apply some gain.

Kluson Single Line Tuners

Taking care of pitch accuracy, these do a great job of getting you in tune quickly and keeping you there. They also fit with the 50s vibe and look completely at home.

Gibson Custom Shop Quality

Gibson Custom Shop is known for their attention to detail and finesse, both of which are present here in abundance. From the authentic '59 neck profile to the hide glue fit, these tiny elements come together to form an accurate recreation of a vintage guitar but without any of the complications that come with an instrument of significant age.

Who Is It For?
