This ES-355 reissue nails the '59 vibe – it's a gorgeous instrument with a fantastic, creamy tone that's perfect for jazz, blues, and classic rock players who want that vintage ES aesthetic and feel. The VOS finish is truly stunning, and the Custombucker pickups are a significant upgrade over the originals. It’s a serious investment, but the playability and tone are top-tier.

Frequently Asked Questions

The ’59 medium C neck is noticeably thinner and more rounded than many contemporary Gibson necks, offering a more vintage feel.
These are unpotted Custombucker Alnico III pickups, which contribute to a more open and dynamic sound with increased breathiness.
The body is semi-hollow, not fully hollow or chambered, providing a balance of resonance and feedback resistance while retaining a good amount of body and warmth.
