Description
This 2022 reissue 1961 ES-335 features the slim '61 Skinny C-Shape neck! A great used bargain!

Gibson Custom Shop was established in 1984 to create the finest electric guitars and basses using high-quality manufacturing techniques, an insatiable spirit of inquiry, and carefully selected materials cultivated over many years. The Custom Shop lineup, still built using traditional handcrafting methods and a thorough knowledge of vintage instruments, is unrivaled in its exquisite craftsmanship, and is sure to become the ultimate beloved instrument that will endlessly inspire the player's innermost inspiration.

This is a reissue model of the 1961 model, which shows the transition from the 1950s to the typical specifications of the 1960s.
While the guitar features double-ring Kluson tuning machines, silver-inserted hat knobs, and a short pickguard, it also retains vestiges of the 1950s, such as the rounded horn shape and dot positioning. It also features a deep neck joint, hide glue fit, and a tubeless truss rod, all based on the original specifications.

It fits perfectly with the elements you want from the 335, such as jazz, blues, and funky cutting, and if you strum it with a drive sound you can enjoy a piercing rock sound.

In terms of condition, there are some scratches from turning and polishing typical of the VOS finish, as well as a few dents on the end of the back of the body and the side of the headstock. The frets remain at about 80% of their original height, and there are no problems with playability, including around the neck and in the electrical system. However, the bridge pickup has been replaced with a Seymour Duncan '59 Custom Hybrid, so we are offering this guitar at a bargain price. We apologize if it sells out.
