Gibson ES-335 60s in Vintage Sunburst

The ES-335 60s delivers the refined features of early-1960s era ES-335 models. The ES-335 60s features a semi-hollow, thinline body crafted from three-ply maple, poplar, and maple, with a solid maple centerblock that increases sustain while also greatly reducing feedback. For a touch of added style, the body has single-ply cream binding around the top and back.

Like those early 60s ES-335 models, the mahogany neck sports a SlimTaper™ profile that is thinner and faster-playing than the beefier Rounded C profile on the ES-335 50s. The bound rosewood fretboard is equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets and adorned with small block acrylic inlays, mirroring the look of the 60s era ES-335 models. The headstock is equipped with high-quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with milk bottle buttons, which, in partnership with the Graph Tech® nut, help to keep the tuning rock solid. The headstock is also adorned with a mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and crown inlay.

The other ends of the strings pass over an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and anchor to an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece. They add to the guitar’s excellent sustain while allowing for comprehensive adjustment of action height and individual string intonation.

The ES-335 60s is powered by a pair of calibrated T-Type humbucker™ pickups with Alnico 5 magnets. These pickups are renowned for delivering iconic Gibson T-Top humbucker™ tones. Each is paired with individual hand-wired 500k volume and tone controls, which, along with a three-way pickup selector toggle switch, provide the wide range of tonal versatility for which the ES-335 is famous.

A 60s-style, five-ply pickguard and black Top Hat knobs with reflectors and dial pointers complete the 60s vintage-inspired look. Available in your choice of Vintage Burst, Sixties Cherry, and Dark Walnut gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, a Gibson hardshell case completes the package. This is the ES-335 for you if you prefer the slimmer neck profile and cosmetics of those 60s-era ES-335 models that players have loved for over 60 years.
