Semi-Hollow Electric guitar with high-gloss nitrocellulose finish and MHS pickups, including case and certificate
The Gibson 1962 ES-335 Kalamazoo Gloss Sixties Cherry is all about the legendary Semi-Hollow electric guitar that was produced at the beginning of the 1960s in the hometown of the long-established American company halfway between Chicago and Detroit. Accordingly, the highly polished nitrocellulose finish conceals a semi-acoustic body made of three-layer maple poplar laminate, in which a centre block of maple prevents unwanted feedback without preventing the harmonic richness Timbre . The glued mahogany neck lies comfortably in the hand with the slim " Rounded Early '60s " profile, so that on the rosewood fingerboard classic playing techniques of the blues, Jazz and as Rock if by themselves go from the fingers. With two Gibson MHS pickups that prove to be authentic PAF replicas with a warm midrange spectrum and airy dynamics, and the hand-wired " Memphis Tone Circuit " that relies on two " Black Beauty" capacitors for silky treble roll-offs, the Gibson 1962 ES-335 Kalamazoo also delivers authentic Vintage sounds. Last but not least, the Gibson Historic 1962 ES-335 is equipped with the classic Tune O-Matic bridge, a tailpiece made of Aluminium steel and Kluson-Style tuners with historically matching " Double Ring Tulip " grand pianos.
The Gibson 1962 ES-335 Kalamazoo Gloss Sixties Cherry corresponds in style, equipment and sound to the legendary models from the original hometown of the traditional company.
