Gibson Custom Shop 1959 ES-335 Reissue Vintage Burst VOS

The semi-hollow legend that keeps the 1959 tone alive

The Gibson Custom Shop ES-335 1959 VOS is not a reissue that merely approaches the original — it's an instrument that captures the essence of the ES-335's most coveted year as accurately as possible. With the characteristic '59 Fat C-neck, unpotted Custombucker pickups, and a VOS finish that mimics the patina of a vintage instrument, this is a guitar for the player who knows exactly what they're looking for.

The sound is warm, open, and dynamic. The two unpotted Gibson Custombucker humbuckers respond immediately to your touch, allowing the semi-hollow maple body to resonate freely. From clean, jazzy chords to bluesy lead with just the right amount of bite — the ES-335 '59 VOS effortlessly transitions between styles, just as the original did in the hands of the greatest names in blues history.

The body is constructed from maple with a mahogany neck and a rosewood fretboard with dot inlays, 22 frets, and a 12" radius. The 24.75" scale length gives the guitar that familiar Gibson feel, while the Gibson tuners ensure stable tuning. The electronics consist of two volume and two tone controls for maximum control over your sound. Delivered with a hardshell case.
