With its 3-ply maple and poplar body, the 1959 ES-355 Watermelon Red Light Aged follows the laminate construction common since 1948 at Gibson and made famous by the ES-175. Finished with multiple 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.

Alnico III proven custom bucker and hand-wired circuit with oil paper capacitors promise authentic vintage sounds.

Hand-wired electrics with custombucker pickups and paper-in-oil caps.

Also the wiring of the Gibson 1959 ES-355 Watermelon Red Light Aged 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 humbuckersprovides appropriate sounds at the amplifier. The hand-wound double coilers originate from the Gibson Custom Shop and are based on years of analysis of original PAF humbuckers of the era, and the coveted sound of this iconic pickup to come as close as ever.
