Epiphone 1959 ES-355 Electric Guitar - Classic White with Hard Shell Case
The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1959 ES-355: A Stunning Recreation of the Top-of-the-Line ES Model
The Epiphone 1959 ES-355 is a remarkable recreation of the preeminent ES model from the legendary class of 1959. Created in partnership with Gibson Custom, this guitar captures the essence of the original in every detail, from its elegant design to its exceptional tone. This top-of-the-line ES model offers a true vintage experience, featuring a meticulously crafted body, neck, and electronics that faithfully replicate the classic ES-355.
Premium Construction and Classic Design
The 1959 ES-355 features a 5-ply layered maple/poplar body with a solid maple centerblock, providing excellent sustain and feedback resistance. The one-piece mahogany neck with a 50s Rounded Medium C profile offers a comfortable feel, while the ebony fretboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays adds a touch of luxury. The 7-ply top binding, 3-ply back binding, and 5-ply headstock binding further enhance the guitar's vintage aesthetic, making it a stunning instrument both visually and sonically.
Gibson Custombuckers for Authentic 1959 Tone
Equipped with a pair of Gibson Custombucker pickups, the 1959 ES-355 delivers the iconic tone that defined the era. These pickups provide a wide range of sounds, from warm, smooth cleans to biting, articulate overdrive. The pickups are hand-wired to CTS potentiometers with Mallory capacitors, ensuring a rich, dynamic response and authentic vintage tone. The 3-way Switchcraft® selector switch and individual volume and tone controls offer complete control over your sound.
High-Quality Hardware and Vintage Details
The Epiphone 1959 ES-355 comes with gold Grover Rotomatic tuners, a Tune-O-Matic bridge, and a Gibson Historic Reissue Aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece, ensuring excellent tuning stability and sustain. The 5-ply bound celluloid tortoise pickguard and black top hat control knobs with nickel dial pointers add to the guitar’s classic look, making it a true tribute to the original 1959 model.
