The Historic Reissue ES-335 is back and better than ever thanks to a year of studying, scanning, and listening to original ES examples. The expert craftspeople at Gibson Custom Shop have rendered every contour, profile, inlay and color of the priceless vintage models in magnificent detail. The result is a playing and ownership experience that will keep you coming back for more.

The 1961 Reissue models utilize rounded cutaways, SlimTaper neck profiles scanned from originals, dot inlays, and vintage-replica parts.

This model features Heavy Aging by the skilled artisans of the Murphy Lab. The Murphy Lab Heavy Aged finish treatment, paired with heavily aged hardware, simulates decades of heavy play wear, giving it the unique character, vibe, and feel of an original example from the Gibson Golden Era.
