The Gibson Custom 1959 ES-335 Reissue VOS semi-hollow electric guitar provides an unparalleled vintage tone and playing experience. Gibson Custom Shop craftsmen have painstakingly recreated every detail of the original 1959 ES-335, from the rounded cutaways to the medium '59 neck profile.

The PAF-style humbucking pickups deliver a versatile range of tones from warm and mellow to crisp and defined.
Authentic 1959 Design
The ES-335 Reissue VOS incorporates vintage-accurate appointments modeled after the coveted 1959 original. You'll appreciate the rounded cutaways, dot inlays and vintage tuners. The aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives the appearance of a well-loved vintage instrument. Close your eyes and you'll swear you've traveled back in time.
Premium Tonewoods
A 3-ply maple/poplar/maple laminate top, back and sides combine with a solid mahogany neck for resonant tone with rich sustain. The semi-hollow body reduces feedback while retaining the acoustic properties of a hollowbody guitar. The nitrocellulose lacquer finish allows the tonewoods to breathe and vibrate freely.
'59 Neck Profile
The ES-335 Reissue VOS features a medium '59 neck profile modeled after original 1959 ES-335 guitars. The rounded, comfortable neck profile facilitates smooth playability across the 22-fret rosewood fingerboard. The long neck tenon provides exceptional stability and sustain.
Versatile PAF-Style Pickups
The ES-335 Reissue VOS is equipped with PAF-style humbucking pickups that provide a range of vintage Gibson tones. The neck pickup delivers warm, mellow tones suited for jazz and blues. The bridge pickup yields crisp, defined tones perfect for rock and roll. With independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, you can blend the pickups for a variety of sounds.
