All handcrafted, many of these Custom Shop instruments are based on iconic models from Gibson's illustrious past. And this 1964 ES-335 Reissue VOS captures the spirit of one of Gibson's most adored hollowbody models from the golden age of guitar design.
Faithfully adhering to the classic 1964 formula, this Custom Shop ES-335 Reissue VOS recreation boasts an authentic '64 medium C-shaped neck for a comfortable feel, and also comes equipped with vintage-voiced Gibson Custombucker Alnico III pickups that project a rich and powerful tone.
