Gibson's Custom Shop division produces some of the finest electric guitars in the world. 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.
Here's what Gibson says about the Custom Shop 1964 ES-335 Reissue VOS:
The Historic Reissue ES-335 is back and better than ever thanks to a year of studying, scanning, and listening to original examples. The expert craftspeople at Gibson Custom Shop have rendered every contour, profile, inlay and color of the priceless vintage models in magnificent detail. The result is a playing and ownership experience that will keep you coming back for more.
The 1964 Reissue models utilise sharp horn cutaways, medium C-shape neck profiles scanned from originals, small block inlays and vintage-replica parts.
