Anyone who bought an ES-335 in 1961 surely had tons of fun. Why? Well, because it was a historic year for Gibson's beloved semi-hollowbody! In '61, Gibson switched from the fatter fifties neck profile to a slimmer shape that rock and blues players fell in love with! These killer reissues capture the spirit of '61 with exceptional accuracy. They have Adirondack spruce bracing in order to achieve superior headroom, clarity, and articulation. Also, their Memphis Historic Spec humbuckers are bursting at the seems with sweet vintage tone. Add in a truly delectable rounded sixties neck profile, and it's clear that the '61 ES-335 is an instrument with an unearthly combination of playability and tone. We're proud to showcase the 1961 ES-335 from Gibson Memphis's 2019 lineup, and we're sure it will inspire and delight you!
