The 1964 ES-335 - Vintage Charm with Custom Upgrades
The 1964 ES-335 Reissue in Sixties Cherry VOSis a guitar that pays homage to the timeless classics while adding modern flair. Crafted from exquisite Mahogany and topped with single-ply Cream, this instrument captures the essence of vintage guitars. The unpotted Custombucker pickups deliver rich, resonant tones reminiscent of legendary players like Chuck Berry and Rich Robinson. If you're a fan of their signature sounds, this guitar is for you.
Vintage Design with Modern Modifications
This ES-335 Reissue boasts a top-notch design, featuring the iconic "F" holes, mother-of-pearl Gibson Logo on the head veneer with crown inlay, and aged Small Block inlays on the Rosewood fingerboard. The vintage-style Kluson Reissue machine heads ensure precise tuning stability. Notably, this model is outfitted with a Bigsby vibrato, stop bar anchors and a "Custom Made" plate - in 1964, guitars had to be drilled out for a stop bar, and this custom-made plate was specifically designed to cover the original holes, preserving the vintage aesthetic while offering modern functionality.
