Gibson ES-335 60s Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar – Sixties Cherry

Gibson ES-335 60s Semi-hollowbody Electric Guitar – Sixties Cherry

The Gibson ES-335 60s captures the refined style, feel, and sound of the early-’60s ES-335 models that helped define countless classic recordings. Built using a layered semi-hollow body with a solid maple centreblock, this iconic design blends the open resonance and warmth of a hollowbody with the sustain and feedback resistance of a solidbody. Finished in a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the ES-335 60s delivers timeless Gibson aesthetics with an elegant vintage-inspired appearance that feels equally at home on stage, in the studio, or at rehearsal.

The mahogany neck features Gibson’s fast-playing SlimTaper profile, offering smooth, comfortable playability ideal for fluid rhythm work and expressive lead lines. A bound rosewood fretboard with small block inlays and 22 medium jumbo frets provides a refined vintage feel. Loaded with calibrated Gibson Alnico 5 T-Type humbuckers, the ES-335 60s produces articulate cleans, warm blues tones, and rich overdriven bite. Premium appointments complete this authentic early-’60s ES-335 recreation. A Gibson hardshell case is included for dependable protection wherever you play.

Refined Semi-Hollow Construction

The ES-335 60s continues Gibson’s legendary semi-hollow formula with a layered maple/poplar/maple body that delivers exceptional resonance, sustain, and tonal depth. The solid maple centreblock adds focus and stability while dramatically reducing unwanted feedback, making the guitar suitable for higher-gain settings as well as clean, dynamic playing. This balanced construction gives the ES-335 its famously versatile voice, capable of moving effortlessly between jazz, blues, classic rock, indie, and modern alternative styles. Finished with gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the guitar captures the understated elegance and vintage appeal associated with the finest early-’60s ES-335 models.

Classic T-Type Humbucker Tone

The ES-335 60s is fitted with a pair of calibrated Gibson T-Type humbuckers loaded with Alnico 5 magnets. Inspired by the iconic T-Top pickups found in vintage Gibson guitars, these pickups deliver a balanced tonal response with clear highs, focused mids, and warm low-end character. The bridge pickup provides punchy attack and crisp articulation ideal for cutting rhythm tones and expressive lead work, while the neck pickup offers smooth warmth and singing sustain. Hand-wired controls paired with a traditional three-way toggle switch provide outstanding tonal flexibility.

Fast And Comfortable Playability

Unlike the chunkier necks found on earlier ’50s-inspired models, the ES-335 60s features Gibson’s SlimTaper mahogany neck profile for a quicker, more modern feel. It sits comfortably in the hand and allows effortless movement across the fretboard. The bound rosewood fretboard adds smoothness and refinement, while the 12-inch radius and medium jumbo frets offer excellent balance between comfortable chord playing and fast, expressive leads. Small block acrylic inlays reinforce the authentic early-’60s appearance while maintaining the clean and elegant look.

Vintage-Inspired Gibson Hardware

Premium hardware ensures the ES-335 60s performs beautifully. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece maximise sustain and tuning precision while allowing accurate intonation adjustment. Grover Rotomatic tuners with distinctive milk bottle buttons provide dependable tuning stability and smooth operation, working alongside the Graph Tech nut to minimise friction during bends and aggressive playing. The vintage-inspired black five-ply pickguard and black Top Hat knobs with silver inserts complete the classic early-’60s aesthetic. Supplied with a Gibson hardshell case and accessory kit.
