Historically correct construction
The construction of the 1959 Reissue E-335 is naturally historically correct using the tonewoods of the Fifties, with detailed scans of the Vintage originals guaranteeing accurate reproduction of all shapings, from the "mouse ears" of the body to the neck profile. and to avoid feedback without compromising the guitar's airy-resonant sound, the body made of the typical maple-poplar laminate is stabilized by a center block of maple. The mahogany neck, glued with Hide Glue and Long Tenon, promises optimal playing characteristics with the pleasantly strong "'50s Rounded Medium C" profile up to the 22nd fret of the rosewood fingerboard, where naturally the historically authenticated Dot Inlays mark the positions.
With Alnico III magnets proven Gibson Custombucker and a hand-wired circuit with Paper-in-Oil Caps promise the best vintage sounds.
Custombucker Pickups
To ensure the '59 Reissue ES-335 meets every vintage tone expectation, it comes equipped with Gibson Custombucker pickups in both neck and bridge positions. Featuring Alnico III magnets and unpotted coils, these humbuckers faithfully recreate the airy tone of the legendary PAF pickups, enhanced by the naturally resonant semi-hollow body. Ideal for classic blues, rock, and jazz styles, the hand-wired electronics with historically accurate paper-in-oil capacitors ensure refined tonal control and smooth treble roll-off.
