Historically correct construction
In constructing the 1961 Reissue ES-335, Gibson Custom Shop follows the historically authenticated specifications for the popular Electric Spanish design. The Guitar's top, back and sides are constructed from a three-ply maple-poplar laminate and bonded to the solid maple center block for an airy resonant tone with reduced susceptibility to feedback. The mahogany neck, glued with Hide Glue and long neck base, offers extremely comfortable playing characteristics with a surprisingly slim "Authentic '61 Skinny C" profile.
Gibson Custom Bucker for premium vintage sounds
With two Gibson Custom Bucker pickups, the 1961 Reissue E-335 delivers premium vintage tones on the guitar amp that expertly capture the resonant timbre of the Electric Spanish Guitar. Using Alnico III magnets and unwaxed coils, the humbuckers offer authentic sonic character of the legendary PAF humbuckers with airy responsive dynamics and vocal midrange. The hand-wired circuitry with historically accurate paper-in-oil caps also allows for precise tone matching with harmonic Treble roll-offs.
Authentic hardware appointments
Last but not least, high-quality vintage-style Hardware with historically accurate details completes Gibson's 1961 ES-335 Reissue semi-acoustic guitar. At the headstock, the strings are fed via a nylon nut to the precise Kluson tuners, which feature the authentic look with single-row case lettering and two-ring Tulip pianos. On the body, the Gibson ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge guarantees precise intonation and string action adjustment, while the aluminum stopbar keeps the strings securely in place.
