A meticulously crafted recreation of a iconic 1959 model with vintage-accurate appointments and versatile, articulate tone.
The Gibson Custom 1959 ES-355 Reissue stopbar VOS is a high-quality semi-hollow electric guitar that offers a genuine vintage vibe. It's built to the exact specifications of the 1959 original and features an aged nitrocellulose finish by Murphy Lab, giving it the appearance, feel and sound of the real deal from 1959. The guitar's neck is made from mahogany and shaped into a round profile for comfort, while the ebony fingerboard makes it easy to play. It comes with specially made humbuckers inspired by the original PAF pickups, providing a wide range of old-school tones, from soft and warm to bright and edgy. The guitar's authentic features and construction methods make owning it a unique experience. It also comes with a vintage-style hardshell case to keep it safe while you're on the move.
Legendary Semi-Hollow Design
The ES-355 Reissue stopbar VOS showcases Gibson's iconic late-1950s semi-hollow design with its sleek double-cutaway maple body. Its nitrocellulose lacquer finish gracefully ages, gaining a unique patina over time. The guitar's silhouette is highlighted by multi-ply binding, while the vintage-style headstock on the mahogany neck adds an elegant touch.
Classic Sound With Modern Clarity
This guitar features two humbucking pickups that produce a versatile tone, perfect for genres like rock, blues and jazz. The neck's Custombucker offers warmth and clarity, whereas the bridge's overwound pickup delivers sharp highs and solid lows. It's equipped with CTS potentiometers and bumble bee capacitors, ensuring a genuine vintage sound. The guitar also has easy-to-use volume and tone controls for each pickup, allowing for effortless sound shaping.
Exceptional Quality and Detail
Constructed with high-quality materials, including an ebony fingerboard adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays and exquisite multi-ply binding, the ES-355 Reissue stopbar VOS stands out in both playability and looks. Kluson-style tuners ensure accurate tuning, and a Tune-O-Matic bridge with a stop tailpiece provides lasting sustain. The guitar's all-analog signal path, featuring CTS 500K potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, offers clear, uncolored tone. A hardshell case is included for secure transport and storage of your guitar.
