Fewer than 200 of these limited edition 50th Anniversary 1958 ES-335s
will be produced by the Gibson Custom Shop. The third new guitar
introduced by Gibson in 1958, the ES-335 was intended to combine the
warmth of a hollowbody jazz guitar with the high-end and sustain of a
solid-body. Immediately popularized by blues and jazz players, the
Gibson 335 has since become a beloved staple for guitarists worldwide.
The
ES-335 Electric Guitar brought hollowbody tradition and solidbody
performance together in 1958, and it is still one of the all-time
classic guitar designs. It's among the most versatile guitars you can
own. Classic semi-hollowbody design and dual '57 Gibson humbuckers
combine to produce everything from full-bodied growls to singing
sustain. This Anniversary model has the rounded neck and dot markers
that would change to a thinner profile and block inlays in 1962.
The
VOS (Vintage Original Spec) finish and hardware have been gently aged
so that your guitar will carry the look of a thousand smoky bar gigs,
countless sessions, and maybe even a few world tours.
The Gibson
ES-335 also features body/neck binding, nickel-plated hardware with
vintage tulip tuners, Tune-O-Matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece,
separate volume and tone controls, and a 3-way switch.
