Gibson 1958 ES-335 VOS Natural #A08196

MHS Humbucker

A historically accurate replica of the legendary first'Patent Applied For' humbuckers, the Gibson Facility in Memphis uses the newly developed MHS humbuckers in neck and bridge positions. The pickups with Alnico II and III magnets and approx. 5000 windings of 42AWG wire per coil reach a resonance frequency of just under 3kHz and thus convey the classic crunch with a clear and vocal definition;

58 Mickey Mouse Shape

Inspired by the first ES-335 models from the debut year 1958, the '58 ES-335 offers authentic specifications from body construction to hardware. Accordingly, not only the body shaping, but also the selection of the ceiling wood in the form of a classic'58 Plain Maple Tops has been accurately implemented historically. The resonance body of the striking semi-hollow is made of 3 layers of maple and poplar laminate and glued with Hot Hide Glue following the original production steps.
