Gibson Custom 1964 ES-335 Reissue Ultra Light Aged #130292 Overview
The Gibson Custom 1964 ES-335 Reissue Ultra Light Aged is an incredibly accurate recreation of one of history's most loved guitars. Gibson's Custom Shop have scanned, studied and listened to original '64 335s to perfectly render every detail. The result is an ES-335 that you could have picked off the shelf in the '60s - with every contour, profile and inlay mirroring the genuine article.
And more importantly, it sounds every bit as glorious and refined as a vintage ES-335 thanks to its Custombucker pickups. Loaded with alnico III magnets and featuring an unpotted construction, you'll get warm and bright tones with exceptional note clarity. And while those retro spec humbuckers purr, you'll fret with unrestricted fluidity on the authentic '64 medium C-shape neck and rosewood fretboard. Complete with a classic ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminium stopbar for pitch perfect intonation, and Kluson single line machine heads for reliable stability, this stunning ES-335 rebirth brings you classic coolness improved with modern construction - what are you waiting for?

It's one of the most attractive and recognisable guitar shapes out there, and Gibson's Custom Shop have truly done it justice. Dressed in a gorgeous Sixties Cherry finish and a smart royalite binding, it's a feast for the eyes that will certainly catch the spotlight!
But it isn't just about looks though, as the Custom Shop's period accurate design mean the three-ply maple/poplar/maple body and sophisticated F-holes contribute to an outstanding acoustic resonance. Every note is emboldened by the semi-hollow space, feeding the pickups with extra harmonic content.
A sixties riff machine
From Jazz to the beginnings of pop rock, the ES-335 has featured in a staggering array of genres, and remains one of the kings of musical versatility. And with this Custom Shop's authentic medium C neck shape you'll be afforded the same sonic flexibility - it's a shape that works for both complex chording and slick solos alike, so no matter your preferred music taste, this 1964 Reissue ES-335 is up to the task.
And that's not to mention the extremely high-quality Indian rosewood fretboard, it's slotted with 22 frets in a comfortable 24.75" scale length for speedy and fluid riffing.
Gibson's vintage Custombuckers
The 1964 ES-335 Reissue captures the vibe and voice of the original guitars through Gibson's painstakingly recreated pickups. They're equipped with Alnico III magnets for a sharp tonal clarity that remains even on higher drive settings. Backed up with plenty of warmth, they'll give chords body and thickness, while keeping the detail of single notes audible through a mix.
