Authentic Recreation of 1961 ES-335

Gibson Custom Shop luthiers meticulously studied vintage 1961 ES-335 models to recreate every nuance in this reissue. From the rounded cutaways to the slim taper neck profile, no detail was overlooked. The result is a guitar that looks, plays and sounds like a priceless vintage original. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish develops a patina over time, further enhancing the vintage vibe.

Premium Woods and Materials

A semi-hollow maple body and solid mahogany neck provide exceptional resonance and sustain. The rosewood fingerboard offers a smooth playing surface, with pearl dot inlays adding a touch of visual flair. High-quality components like CTS potentiometers, bumble bee capacitors and Switchcraft toggle switches deliver reliable performance and contribute to the vintage-correct aesthetic.

Burstbucker Pickups for Classic ES Tone

Burstbucker 1 and 2 pickups in the neck and bridge positions produce the warm, singing tone characteristic of vintage ES-335s. These Alnico II magnet pickups capture harmonic overtones and naturally compressed dynamics. Clear and articulate, Burstbucker pickups handle everything from jazz to classic rock with ease.

Its slim taper neck profile, dot inlays, control layout and hardware are all modeled after vintage originals from 1961.
