About this listing
The Gibson ES-335™ is one of the greatest guitar designs of all time. It is renowned for its exceptional versatility and has been used by countless players in a wide range of genres. Combining the best elements of solidbody and thinline hollowbody designs, it’s a highly resonant guitar that resists feedback much better than a full hollowbody due to its interior solid maple centerblock.Now, Epiphone, in cooperation with Gibson Custom, is proud to introduce the 1962 ES-335 Reissue, a guitar that was very much inspired by Gibson Custom’s ES-335 offerings but purposefully based on a model year that Gibson Custom does not currently reissue – 1962, a year when popular features like rounded cutaways, small block inlays, and a fast-playing, slim neck profile were all present on the Gibson ES-335.The Epiphone 1962 ES-335 Reissue has a semi-hollow 5-ply layered maple/poplar body with rounded cutaways and a solid maple centerblock for outstanding sustain and feedback resistance. The genuine one-piece mahogany neck has a thin 1960s SlimTaper™ C profile and is capped with a rosewood fretboard that is outfitted with 22 medium jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl small block inlays. The fretboard features rounded edges to give it a comfortable, played-in feel that invites you to explore it for hours at a time. Even the side dot position markers are the same size as on vintage 1962 ES-335 models and are placed in historically accurate locations.The Gibson-style “open book” headstock features the Epiphone logo and Gibson Crown inlaid in aged mother-of-pearl and is fitted with smooth-turning Epiphone Deluxe tuning machines with Double Ring Keystone-style buttons and a Graph Tech® nut. An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and Gibson historic reissue aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece anchor the strings at the other end directly into the solid maple centerblock and further contribute to the 1962 ES-335’s excellent sustain.For electronics, a pair of USA-made Gibson Custombucker humbucker™ pickups are hand-wired to CTS® potentiometers and Black Beauty paper-in-oil capacitors and deliver authentic ES-335 tonal versatility, making the 1962 ES-335 Reissue a great choice for rock, blues, jazz, country, and more. A vintage-style Black hardshell case with a plush Goldenrod interior and Inspired by Gibson Custom exterior graphics is also included to help keep this beautiful 1962 ES-335 Reissue safe during storage and travel.HighlightsSemi-hollow constructionOne-piece mahogany neck with 1960s SlimTaper C profileRosewood fretboard with rounded edges, mother-of-pearl small block inlays, and 22 medium jumbo fretsNickel hardwareCustombucker Alnico 3 pickups (unpotted)Switchcraft 3-way toggle switch and 1/4" output jackHardshell case with Inspired by Gibson Custom logoGeneral: Brand Name: Epiphone Case Type: Hardshell Case Hardware Color: Nickel Product Color: Aged Ebony Series: Epiphone Inspired by GibsonBody: Body Binding: Single-Ply Cream Body Finish: Vintage Gloss Body Material: 5-ply Layered Maple/Poplar Body Shape: ES-335 Top Material: 5-ply Layered Maple/PoplarNeck: Fingerboard Inlay: Mother-of-Pearl Small Block Fingerboard Material: Rosewood Headstock Inlay or Decal: Epiphone Logo and Gibson Crown in Aged Mother of Pearl Neck Binding: Single-Ply Neck Finish: Vintage Gloss Neck Joint: Set Neck Neck Material: Mahogany Neck Shape: 60s SlimTaper "C" Number of Frets: 22 Frets Nut Material: Graph Tech Nut Width: 1.69" Side Marker Inlay: Dot Truss Rod: AdjustableElectronics: Bridge Pickup: Gibson Custombucker Controls and Switching: 2 Volume, 2 Tone; 3-Way Switch Electronics Notes: CTS Potentiometers, Black Beauty Paper in Oil Capacitors Neck Pickup: Gibson CustombuckerHardware: Bridge: ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic Fret Wire: Medium Jumbo Knobs: Black Top Hat with Silver Reflector Pickguard: 5-ply Black, Gibson ES-335 Shape Saddle Material: Metal Switch Cap: Cream Tailpiece: Gibson Historic Reissue Aluminum Stop Bar Truss Rod Cover: 2-ply Black Bell; Blank, Wide White Tuning Machines: Epiphone Deluxe, Double Ring
