The 1961 model was used as example for this impressive
ES-335 reissue, which was perfectly reproduced by theluthiers in the Nashville
Custom Shop. Only selected tonewoods were used here. The bracing made of
high-quality "Quarter Sawn Adirondack Spruce" gives the tone exactly
the freshness and quality that makes playing on a good ES a real pleasure. Only
466 pieces of the ES-335 were made in sunburst-finish in 1961. Most of them are
today in the hands of collectors and some of the best specimens, which were spared
tour stress and the like, still delight their owners with a tone that feels
equally at home in jazz, blues and rock The experience of the Gibson employees
and the expert selection of the materials guarantee that you will not want to
give this fantastic reissue out of your hands so quickly!
