The Gibson '61 ES-335 Reissue Electric Guitar in VOS Sixties Cherry faithfully recreates one of Gibson's most iconic semi-hollow electric guitars. Developed through extensive study, scanning and listening to original vintage examples, this Historic Reissue captures the distinctive contours, slim neck profile, vintage appointments and tonal character of the legendary 1961 ES-335.

Built with a 3-ply Maple/Poplar/Maple body and solid maple centre block, the ES-335 delivers the resonant character of a semi-hollow guitar with the sustain and stability required for high-volume playing. The rounded cutaways provide comfortable upper-fret access, while the SlimTaper™ 60s C neck profile is based on scans of original examples for an authentic vintage-inspired playing experience.

A pair of unpotted Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers provides the expressive, dynamic response associated with vintage Gibson PAF-style pickups. CTS 500K audio-taper potentiometers, paper-in-oil capacitors and a three-way Switchcraft selector allow precise control over the guitar's tonal range. Finished in Nitrocellulose VOS with a Sixties Cherry finish and equipped with vintage-replica hardware, the Gibson '61 ES-335 Reissue is an exceptional choice for players and collectors seeking an authentic vintage-inspired ES-335. Available from Sky Music Australia.
