McCartney and Lennon. Hall and Oates. The Edge and his delay pedal. All of these musical partnerships have brought beautiful noises into the world, but there’s a new dynamic duo in town ready to shake things up: Wildwood Guitars and the Gibson Custom Shop. Make no mistake, I love Hall and Oates, but I sincerely think that this new run of Custom Shop ’59 ES-335s are at least as awesome as the song “Rich Girl.”
Before we get too far, let’s talk about why these ES-335s deserve to be held in such lofty regard. The biggest reason is also the most obvious reason: the meticulous workmanship of the wizards at the Gibson Custom Shop. They put these guitars together with hot hide glue, an old-world manufacturing technique that requires considerable time and skill but results in an incredibly strong connection between each piece of wood. This rock-solid bond allows vibrations to travel freely throughout the guitar’s body, which is a big reason why these 335s’ have such phenomenal resonance and fullness.
