Our Take:
Like the '59 Historic Reissues, you'll be just as astounded as we were by the quality and period accuracy with which the Gibson Custom Shop has reproduced these incredible instruments. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish is picture perfect; the neck profiles and body contours are accurate down to the centimeter; and the tone is truly like being rocketed back into the mid-'60s thanks to the Unpotted Custombucker Alnico III's. This is a guitar that you do not want to pass up on.
Gibson's Take:
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 utilize sharp horn cutaways, medium C-shape neck profiles scanned from originals, small block inlays and vintage-replica parts.
