Beautiful 1961 Reissue ES-335 in VOS Satin Cherry finish!

This 1961 Reissue ES-335 is another real gem from the Gibson Custom Shop. Just like the original, this copy has a wonderfully slim neck profile, classy dot inlays and beautifully open and full-sounding humbuckers. Tonally, this ES-335 is absolutely perfect: it has that characteristic, sultry jazzy sound in the bridge position and a crystal clear bite in the bridge position. Also explore the different relationships between the 2 pickups in the middle position, because there is a lot of magic there too! The body of this ES-335 is made of high-quality maple in combination with a mahogany neck and Indian rosewood fretboard. Comes with a luxurious Custom Shop Hardshell Suitcase with Case Candy.
