A Stunning Reproduction of the 1959 Top-of-the-Line ES

In partnership with Gibson™ Custom, Epiphone is proud to release the 1959 ES-355, a stunning reproduction of the preeminent ES™ model of the legendary 1959 class. This is the top-of-the-line ES in all its glory, from the dimensions and contours to the precise inlay patterns and sonic experience. The 1959 ES-355 features a 5-ply maple/poplar body with a solid maple center block for sustain and feedback resistance, a one-piece mahogany neck with a 50s-style rounded medium C profile, and an ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl inlays. The Gibson “open book” style headstock features Split Diamond inlays and the mother-of-pearl Epiphone logo, along with gold Grover® Rotomatic® tuners and the Inspired by Gibson double-diamond logo engraved on the back. The 1959 ES-355 is powered by a pair of Gibson Custombuckers hand-wired to CTS® potentiometers, Mallory™ capacitors and a Switchcraft® pickup selector and output jack. Also included is a brown and pink hardshell case with the Inspired by Gibson Custom logo.
