Gibson know that players have distinct preferences when it comes to their instruments. Some gravitate toward certain models, and many have strong attachments to specific production periods due to differences in finishes, pickup designs, subtle component changes (such as pickguards, inlays, and plastics), and evolving neck profiles. The Les Paul™ Standard 50s and 60s models have been embraced by musicians for exactly these reasons, offering the ability to choose the feel and features that suit them best. Now, ES-335™ fans can enjoy the same level of choice with the arrival of the ES-335 50s and ES-335 60s.

The ES-335 60s captures the essential characteristics of early 1960s ES-335 instruments. Its semi-hollow, thinline body is constructed from three-ply maple, poplar, and maple, paired with a solid maple centerblock that enhances sustain while significantly minimizing feedback. Single-ply cream binding along the top and back adds a refined visual touch. True to the early 60s originals, the mahogany neck features the SlimTaper™ profile, offering a sleeker, faster feel than the thicker Rounded C profile found on the ES-335 50s. The bound rosewood fretboard includes 22 medium jumbo frets and small block acrylic inlays, delivering the familiar look of classic 60s ES-335 models.

High-quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with milk bottle buttons work seamlessly with the Graph Tech® nut to ensure exceptional tuning stability. A mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and crown inlay adorn the headstock. At the opposite end of the strings, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece contribute to the guitar’s excellent sustain and offer full control over action height and individual intonation adjustments. A pair of calibrated T-Type humbucker™ pickups with Alnico 5 magnets powers the ES-335 60s, delivering the unmistakable character of vintage Gibson T-Top humbucker™ tones.

Each pickup connects to its own hand-wired 500k volume and tone controls, and together with the three-way toggle switch, they provide the broad tonal palette that has defined the ES-335 for generations. A five-ply, 60s-style pickguard, along with black Top Hat knobs featuring reflectors and dial pointers, completes the period-inspired aesthetic. Available in Vintage Burst, Sixties Cherry, and Dark Walnut gloss nitrocellulose finishes, the ES-335 60s ships with a Gibson hardshell case. For players who favor the streamlined neck shape and visual style of 60s-era ES-335 designs, this model delivers the feel and sound that have made these instruments cherished for more than six decades.
