Gibson Murphy Lab 1959 ES-355 Ebony Ultra Light Aged #A921399 Front
The Gibson 1959 ES-355 Ebony with classic design features and authentic Murphy Lab aging treatment.

Maple and poplar body with center block.

With its 3-ply maple and poplar body, the hollow-body follows the laminate construction common since 1948 at Gibson and made famous by the ES-175. Finished with a multi-ply binding, the semi-hollow body features an additional center block made of solid maple, which allows the model to play at higher gain settings without unwanted Feedback. Other premium features of the ES-355 include a solid ebony fingerboard with 22 frets in the historically correct medium Jumbo format that evokes the classic's renowned playability.

Hand-wired electronics with paper-in-oil caps.

The wiring of the Gibson 1959 ES-355 Ebony Ultra Light Aged also remains true to the original of the late fifties and relies on real paper-in-oil capacitors as well as potentiometers from the component manufacturer CTS. On the other hand, the combination of two Gibson Custom Bucker humbuckers ensures appropriate sounds at the amplifier. The hand-wound dual coils come from the Gibson Custom store and are based on many years of analysis of original PAF humbuckers of the era, and the coveted sound of these iconic pickups as close as ever.

Gold hardware with Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aging.

In addition to its high-end appointments, the Gibson Custom Murphy Lab naturally showcases classic premium visual features of the original ES-355. Accordingly, the ebony fingerboard features wraparound binding and chic 1950s Pattern pearl block inlays instead of the usual dots of the ES-335, while the Custom Diamond on the headstock of this premium model naturally cannot be missed. Completing the Gibson ES-355 is an authentic Ultra Light Aging by the Gibson Murphy Lab, which authentically recreates the lacquer texture of an extremely well-preserved original with the lightest signs of aging.
