Gibson Custom 1959 ES-355 Reissue in British Racing Green
The Gibson Custom Shop 1959 ES-355 Reissue in British Racing Green merges vintage authenticity with contemporary craftsmanship. This semi-hollow body features a three-ply maple construction with solid maple centerblock, engineered to deliver balanced resonance across a wide tonal spectrum—from warm, open lows to articulate highs. The mahogany neck with medium '59 C profile and long tenon neck joint, secured with hide glue, maximizes vibration transfer for superior sustain and bloom. Paired Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups faithfully recreate late-'50s PAF character, offering rich harmonic complexity and responsive dynamics across clean passages and aggressive leads alike. An ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays, Custom Split Diamond headstock, and period-correct hardware including amber Catalin switch tip and tortoise pickguard complete this instrument. British Racing Green's luminous finish shifts under stage lighting, creating a visual presence as commanding as its sonic capabilities. A guitar that honors Gibson's golden era while delivering modern precision performance.
