An absolutely stunning example of Gibson's iconic semi-hollow design, this pre-owned Gibson Custom 1959 ES-335 is finished in a beautiful Vintage Burst VOS, delivering all the vintage-inspired looks, feel and character you'd expect from a top-tier Gibson Custom Shop instrument.
With a new model retailing for $10,999, this pre-owned example represents an incredible opportunity to secure a premium Gibson Custom Shop ES-335 for considerably less. If you've been looking to step up to a high-end Gibson without paying new-model money, this one is well worth a look!
Built to capture the magic of the original 1959 models, this ES-335 features a pair of Custombucker Alnico III pickups, delivering that unmistakable vintage PAF-inspired tone – warm, articulate and beautifully responsive, with plenty of depth and character.
The guitar presents exceptionally well, with only minor signs of wear consistent with careful use. There are two small areas of lacquer pitting on the front of the headstock (pictured), along with some light marks and scratches throughout. The hardware also displays some natural patina, adding to its vintage-inspired aesthetic.
A fantastic opportunity to own a premium Gibson Custom Shop ES-335, combining timeless styling, outstanding craftsmanship and classic Gibson tone. Whether you're a serious player or a collector, this is a beautiful semi-hollow that is sure to impress.
Supplied with its original Gibson hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.
