Description

The Gibson Custom 1961 ES-335 Reissue VOS represents one of the most faithful recreations of an early ES-335 ever produced. Developed through extensive study scanning and hands-on analysis of original 1961 instruments this model captures the defining features that made the ES-335 a cornerstone of electric guitar history. Built by the expert luthiers of the Gibson Custom Shop it delivers an authentic vintage playing experience with the consistency and precision expected from a modern historic reissue. Constructed using a 3-ply maple poplar and maple body with a solid maple centre block the 1961 ES-335 offers the perfect balance between hollowbody warmth and solidbody sustain. Rounded cutaways dot inlays and a slim-taper neck profile reflect the transition-era specifications of early 60s models. Finished in a Vintage Burst nitrocellulose VOS lacquer this instrument combines period-correct aesthetics with exceptional resonance clarity and dynamic response ideal for blues jazz rock and beyond.

Electric Guitars

Electric guitars use magnetic pickups to convert string vibration into an electrical signal, allowing the sound to be shaped through amplifiers and effects. Key things to understand include body shape, pickup type, neck profile, scale length and bridge design, as these all affect tone, feel and sustain. They are used across almost every modern genre, from clean and expressive to high-gain and aggressive styles, making them one of the most versatile instruments available.

Explore electric, acoustic and bass guitars across a wide range of playing styles, body shapes and specifications. The most useful differences include scale length, construction, pickup type, neck profile, materials and whether the instrument is intended for amplified, acoustic or hybrid use. Use the narrower guitar categories and feature tags to compare instruments with similar designs rather than relying on appearance alone.
