    Few electric guitars have achieved such instant acclaim across such a broad range of musical genres as Gibson’s ES-335. Unveiled in 1958, the ES-335 was designed as a best of both worlds electric that married more than half a century of Gibson archtop tradition to the latest electric guitar innovations. 

    From Gibson: 

    ‘The Gibson Custom Shop 1963 ES-335 Block recaptures all we fell in love with the first-time round! 1963 saw Gibson's extremely popular thinline semi hollow guitar feature a thinner, much faster neck profile, which gave quick players tons of speed and response yet still offer articulation and clarity. Matched with its gorgeous pearloid block inlays the rosewood fretboard was just another beautiful element in a stunningly attractive guitar! This reissue Gibson 1963 ES-335 guitar has been built upon all of the original forms by some of the world's finest luthiers, making sure you're getting the truest, most authentic guitar you can get!’

    This reissue Gibson 1963 ES-335 is in excellent original condition. This one features the 1963 neck profile which is wide and shallow which feels great and plays beautifully. 

    It is a fabulous instrument. It has been lightly played but well looked after. There is little apparent player wear, and it is in excellent working condition. It is well set up with a fast neck and medium action with flatwound strings. Great sounding pickups, no visible fret wear and everything just feels right. Exactly what you would expect out of a top-class Gibson Custom Shop guitar. 


    Comes with its original Gibson hard shell case in good condition.
