This Marcus King signature is a seriously cool axe. The '60s vibe is spot-on, the neck is a joy to play, and those Custombuckers give you a ton of versatility – from clean jazz tones to gritty blues-rock. It's an ideal choice for players seeking a vintage-inspired semi-hollow with modern playability and premium components.

Frequently Asked Questions
The rounded profile is a modern interpretation, generally thinner than a true '59 ES-335 neck, offering easier access to higher frets while retaining a comfortable feel.
They’re designed to be a modern take on the classic PAF, offering a balanced output and dynamic response, but with slightly increased clarity and definition.
The fixed Vibrola, when properly set up, offers stable tremolo functionality, though aggressive use may require occasional adjustments.
