How do you make the most authentic facsimile of a vintage ES-335? To create the Custom 1961 ES-335 Reissue Heavy Aged semi-hollowbody electric guitar, Gibson's master luthiers studied, scanned, and listened to rare examples of original ES guitars. And thanks to the masterful aging process from the Gibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab, you'd be hard pressed to distinguish it from an original '61 ES-335. The 1961 ES-335 Reissue's Skinny "C"-shape neck profile reproduces the exact carve of an original ES-335, while its pair of Custombucker Alnico pickups deliver iconic PAF humbucking tone. From headstock to tailpiece, the Gibson Custom 1961 ES-335 Reissue puts the sound and feel of a vintage original in your hands.
