【used】Gibson / Custom Shop Historic Collection 1959 ES-335 2004 3.895kg #A-94051 【Consignment Item】【GIB Yokohama】

Gibson is the king of the guitar world, having produced countless legendary instruments.

It is beloved by countless artists, including Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour, and Shinichi Ikegata.

The ES-335 debuted from Gibson in 1958.

It features a distinctive double-cutaway hollow body.

Inside the body, the central section where the pickup and bridge sit is solid wood, known as the center block. The sides are hollow, featuring violin-style F-holes.

This structure, a hybrid between a solid-body guitar and an acoustic guitar, defines the semi-acoustic guitar style.

Its appeal lies in being more resistant to feedback than a fully acoustic design, making it perfectly suitable for rock music.

Indeed, many artists use it in rock bands.

This is a Custom Shop model.

The Custom Shop is a specialized manufacturing division created to fulfill custom orders.

It produces exceptional guitars using advanced craftsmanship to meet the demands of professional artists and guitar dealers.

Its high quality is highly regarded by artists worldwide.

This model recreates the 1959 ES-335.

It features the distinctive look of the era: dot inlays, a minimally processed center block, a long pickguard, and Mickey Mouse ear horns.

The body uses a Maple/Poplar/Maple laminate construction.

This design controls the body's resonance while enhancing durability against cracking.

The body is finished in a tasteful natural color using traditional nitrocellulose lacquer.

The neck is Mahogany with a Rosewood fingerboard, a classic Gibson combination.

It features Gibson 57 Classic pickups in the neck and bridge positions.

These are long-standing Gibson models, beloved for years as replicas of the humbucking pickups developed by Seth LaBare, commonly known as PAFs.

The sound is rich and sweet yet maintains a tight, focused character.

The semi-hollow construction and thinner body provide good feedback resistance, allowing for distortion use without issues.

This legendary instrument has been cherished by countless artists and used across various musical genres.
