Gibson ES-335 '60s Block Electric Guitar | Demo and Overview with Molly Miller

Description
The Gibson ES-335 ’60s Block limited-edition semi-hollow electric guitar brings back a classic from the golden era of rock ’n’ roll. With its iconic design, this ES-335 ’60s Block provides the balanced tone and playing feel that has made the ES series legendary for over 60 years. Its fast, slim neck allows comfortable playing over long sessions, while the sonically versatile T-Type pickups provide a range of vintage-inspired tones, from modest and mellow to “riffy” and rocking. If you’re seeking a sonic workhorse for blues, rock, jazz and beyond, the Gibson 335 is a solid choice.

Retro Inlays and Styling
The ES-335 ’60s Block has distinctive aesthetic details that harken back to the legendary instruments of the 1960s. Small block inlays made of acrylic provide a vintage look along the rosewood fretboard, while a pearloid crown inlay graces the headstock and adorns the timeless Gibson logo. Period-accurate ’60s-style “top hat” volume and tone knobs complete the throwback look that might just imbue your riffs with a little old-school rock vibe.

Fast SlimTaper Neck for Slinky Licks
The neck on the Gibson ES-335 ’60s Block has a trim, rounded carve that’s buttery smooth and comfortable in your hands. It utilizes the ever-popular SlimTaper profile to offer a familiar feel for guitarists of all styles and taste—not too thin and not too thick. You can play effortless solos at any position on the fingerboard, with open access all the way to the upper frets thanks to the double-cutaway body. The ES-335 wouldn’t have the reputation that it does without being extremely playable—this model highlights everything there is to love about a historic design.

Versatile Calibrated T-Type Humbucking Pickups
This guitar is equipped with a set of calibrated T-Type humbucking pickups that deliver quintessential Gibson tones, from warm and rounded to an edgy snarl. Inspired by the highly sought-after pickups Gibson made from the late ’60s through the ’70s, these pickups use Alnico 5 magnets and are wound to vintage specs. The traditional 3-way toggle switch lets you go from rich, full-humbucking tones to the airy snap of split coils. The ES-335 Block gives you exceptional tonal flexibility to handle blues, rock, jazz and anything else you want to play.

Premium Components for Reliability
From the tuners to the bridge, the limited-edition ES-335 ’60s Block features high-quality components for rock-solid performance. It starts with an ABR-1 bridge, which efficiently transfers and propagates string vibration for peak sustain and tonality. At the other end of the instrument, vintage-style keystone tuners keep your guitar in tune through impassioned solos and riffs. Plus, handwired CTS potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors in the electronics assembly deliver transparent sound and noise-free performance for years to come.
For players seeking the tone and feel of the classic ES series, the Gibson ES-335 ’60s Block limited-edition guitar delivers an authentic experience. With its fast, fluid neck, colorful pickups and top-tier components, this legendary semi-hollow will inspire you to create and perform your best.

One of the best guitars I've played in a long time. The knobs are smooth and solid, the finish is fantastic. The frets are great and level. The pickups sound great, beefy and handle distortion really well. It's not as light as you would think for a semi Hollow Body but is a very comfortable weight. I've been recording with it and have zero problems!
Fantastic Guitar!

I bought mine about 2 months ago and play it everyday. The guitar has a great weight and tone. Not sure what lemon the other guy was playing but this guitar is awesome!
Epiphone quality at a Gibson price

Poor quality for a nearly $4k guitar. Played one on guitar center today and there are issues unacceptable for a guitar of this price: Some of it could be down to the setup, such as the high action, severe neck up-bow, and unleveled frets. The uneven, hacked fret nibs and binding though is ridiculous when a similar priced ESP comes from factory with a flawless setup and rounded fret edges. Lackluster pickups are the cherry on top of an overpriced instrument.

What size strings come stock on the ES 335 60's Block Limited-Edition? 9's or 10's? I bought one today at Guitar Center Fort Worth, and I was in a hurry because we had a show tonight and I didn't have them change the strings to my Elixir's. Guitar played amazing and sounded amazing like all my other 335's, but 6 songs into the show, the strings went dead. Need to replace them but I don't know what size strings came on it. Thanks.
