Product Description
Guitarists know what they like, and at Gibson, we’ve long recognised that those preferences can be highly specific. Some musicians connect with one model over another, and many gravitate toward particular model-year eras because of shifts in colour options, pickup choices, subtle feature differences (such as pickguards, inlays, and plastics), and changing neck profiles. Our Les Paul™ Standard 50s and 60s models have resonated with players for exactly that reason, offering a way to choose the feel and features that suit them best. With that same philosophy in mind, we’re now extending this approach to ES-335™ enthusiasts with the release of the ES-335 50s and ES-335 60s.
The ES-335 60s captures the essential characteristics of early 1960s ES-335 instruments. Its semi-hollow, The ES-335 60s captures the essential characteristics of early 1960s ES-335 instruments. Its semi-hollow, thinline body is constructed from three-ply maple, poplar, and maple, paired with a solid maple centerblock that enhances sustain while significantly minimising feedback. Single-ply cream binding along the top and back adds a refined visual touch.
True to the early 60s originals, the mahogany neck features the SlimTaper™ profile, offering a sleeker, faster True to the early 60s originals, the mahogany neck features the SlimTaper™ profile, offering a sleeker, faster feel than the thicker Rounded C profile found on the ES-335 50s. The bound rosewood fretboard includes 22 medium jumbo frets and small block acrylic inlays, delivering the familiar look of classic 60s ES-335 models. High-quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with milk bottle buttons work seamlessly with the Graph Tech® nut to ensure exceptional tuning stability. A mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and crown inlay adorn the headstock.
At the opposite end of the strings, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece At the opposite end of the strings, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece contribute to the guitar’s excellent sustain and offer full control over action height and individual intonation adjustments.
A pair of calibrated T-Type humbucker™ pickups with Alnico 5 magnets powers the ES-335 60s, delivering the unmistakable character of vintage Gibson T-Top humbucker™ tones. Each pickup connects to its own hand-wired 500k volume and tone controls, and together with the three-way toggle switch, they provide the broad tonal palette that has defined the ES-335 for generations.
A five-ply, 60s-style pickguard, along with black Top Hat knobs featuring reflectors and dial pointers, completes A five-ply, 60s-style pickguard, along with black Top Hat knobs featuring reflectors and dial pointers, completes the period-inspired aesthetic. Available in Vintage Burst, Sixties Cherry, and Dark Walnut gloss nitrocellulose finishes, the ES-335 60s ships with a Gibson hardshell case. For players who favour the streamlined neck shape and visual style of 60s-era ES-335 designs, this model delivers the feel and sound that have made these instruments cherished for more than six decades.
