Product Description
The legendary ES‑335 Historic Reissue is back, and it’s better than ever. After a full year spent studying, scanning and listening to original vintage examples, the master builders at the Gibson Custom Shop have re‑created this timeless classic with incredible accuracy. Every contour, curve, inlay and finish detail has been obsessively captured, delivering a playing experience that feels really special every time you pick it up.
True‑to‑1961 spec
This 1961 Reissue nails all the hallmarks you’d expect from an early‑sixties ES‑335. Rounded cutaways, period‑correct dot inlays and authentic vintage‑style hardware are all present and correct. The SlimTaper neck profile has been scanned directly from original guitars, giving you that fast, comfortable feel that made these instruments so beloved in the first place.
Murphy Lab magic
Adding the final touch of authenticity is Gibson’s Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aging treatment. Carefully applied by hand, this finish and lightly aged hardware replicate decades of gentle playing wear — not overdone, just right. The result is a guitar that looks, feels and vibes like a golden‑era original, offering all the charm of a well‑loved vintage ES‑335 with the reliability of a brand‑new Custom Shop build.
Features
- 3-ply Maple/Poplar/Maple semi-hollow body: A beautifully resonant build that delivers that classic airy chime and punchy midrange — it’s the recipe behind so many legendary tones. This thing sings even before you plug it in!
- Authentic medium jumbo frets: Smooth, comfortable and absolutely perfect for expressive bends and silky‑easy playability.
- Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups: Vintage PAF mojo — warm, articulate and wonderfully dynamic. Go from sweet, glassy cleans to snarling, edge‑of‑breakup grit.
- ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge: Enjoy solid tuning stability and spot-on intonation, so your riffs and chords always sound their best.
- Included hardshell case: Keep your investment safe and sound with a premium case that’s built to protect your guitar on the road or at home.
