Semi-Hollow Soul
The Historic Reissue ES-335 returns better than ever. After a year of carefully studying, scanning, and analyzing original ES™ models, the master luthiers at Gibson Custom Shop have faithfully recreated every detail of these legendary instruments.
From the body contours and neck profile to the inlays, finish, and vintage-correct hardware, every element captures the look, feel, and spirit of the sought-after originals. The result is an instrument that delivers an authentic vintage playing experience with uncompromising craftsmanship.
The 1961 Reissue features the iconic rounded cutaways, a SlimTaper™ neck profile digitally scanned from original examples, classic dot inlays, and historically accurate appointments throughout.
This model is finished with Murphy Lab Heavy Aging, where Gibson's skilled artisans meticulously recreate decades of natural wear. Combined with heavily aged hardware, the treatment gives the guitar the unmistakable character, appearance, and feel of a well-played original from Gibson's Golden Era.
