Description
The Gibson Custom 1959 ES-335 Reissue Ultra Light Aged #A940037 is a Semi-Hollow from the brand Gibson Custom Shop that gives plenty, a solid weapon in any arsenal. The Gibson Custom 1959 ES-335 Reissue Ultra Light Aged is a meticulous recreation of one of the most iconic semi-hollow guitars ever produced. Built by the Gibson Custom Shop using detailed scans and studies of original vintage examples it captures the look feel and tone of the legendary 59 ES-335. The laminated maple and poplar body paired with a solid maple centre block delivers the warm resonance and sustain that made the ES-335 a favourite. Finished in Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aged nitrocellulose lacquer it recreates the subtle wear and character of a well-preserved vintage instrument. A solid mahogany neck with a Medium C profile offers a comfortable period-correct playing feel while the rosewood fingerboard provides smooth playability. A pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups deliver authentic late 50s PAF-style tones ranging from rich articulate cleans to singing overdrive. Vintage-inspired components such as the ABR-1 bridge aluminium stop bar tailpiece and Kluson tuners complete the historic specification. Supplied with a brown and pink Lifton reissue case and certificate of authenticity this ES-335 offers the unmistakable character of a genuine Gibson Golden Era instrument.
