The quality and period accuracy of these 59’ reissues is absolutely remarkable, and we should know - we've played the real deal! From the beautiful and correctly applied sunburst nitrocellulose lacquer, to the accurate 59’ body shape, these 335s are works of art which truly showcase the quality and passion for Gibson history coming out of the Gibson Custom Shop. Whether you're an ES aficionado - or you just like a good quality guitar, this axe will not disappoint.
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 1959 Reissue models feature rounded cutaways, Medium C-shape neck profiles scanned from originals, dot inlays and vintage-replica parts.
