Lovies Guitars is excited to offer up this 2022 Gibson Custom 1959 ES-335 Reissue VOS Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar with a Figured Antique Natural Finish! Get a true American original with the Gibson Custom 1959 ES-335 Reissue. Introduced in ’58 as Gibson’s first semi-hollow electric guitar, the ES-335 has continued to win over legions of devoted players for 60 years. Featuring a beautifully resonant maple/poplar/maple body, solid mahogany neck with rosewood fingerboard, and a pair of Custombucker Alnico III pickups, this vintage instrument puts out one-of-a-kind tone that is ideal for jazz and blues but can translate easily into rock as well. Many guitarists have fallen in love with the Gibson Custom 1959 ES-335 Reissue. Get your hands on one, and you will too.
The Custom Shop Custombucker pickups in the ’59 ES-335 Reissue are catnip for tube amplifiers. Each with its own volume and tone controls, these unpotted pickups will let you nail chimey country licks as easily as you dial in searing rock tones. The Alnico III magnets give you classic hollowbody-style tones for everything from warm jazz to dirty blues. And hand-wired with CTS audio taper pots and paper-in-oil capacitors, you’ll have nearly endless tone-shaping control at your fingertips.
Meticulously handcrafted by Gibson’s elite Custom Shop luthiers, the 1959 ES-335 Reissue — like every Gibson Custom guitar —receives an ultra-precise Plek Pro setup, which optimizes the fretboard and nut for incredibly accurate intonation and a “just right” feel. And fine details like the hide glue fingerboard fit and the 17-degree headstock angle not only add to the amazing tone and feel of this guitar, they remain true to the Gibson’s illustrious ES Series legacy. The vintage-style nitrocellulose lacquer finish is significantly thinner than today’s polyurethane finishes, allowing the guitar to “breathe.” Nitro finishes not only look amazing; they also enhance the instrument’s tonal qualities. This guitar has the look (and feel) of a lovingly cared-for classic — one that will only improve with age.
Gibson Custom’s Vintage Original Sheen finish option comes standard on Custom Shop Historic Reissue models. The VOS finish package includes lightly aged parts that imparts an authentic vintage patina. The nitrocellulose finished it buffed to a light matte appearance, giving a look and feel of a guitar that has been lovingly played and cared for over the years. This guitar is in minty shape with pickguard marks and a couple tiny indents on the back, rated at 9.5/10. All original and free of any breaks, cracks or repairs. Included with this guitar is an original hard-shell case, a complimentary sample of Fret-Not, our preferred fretboard cleaner, check it out at fretnot.net and a complimentary Cooper Standard Fin guitar pick—our favorite for enhanced control and reduced movement! Thank you for considering this exceptional instrument from Lovies Guitars.
