The Gibson Memphis 1959 ES-335 Hand-selected Reissue is a spot-on re-creation of a vintage treasure. But a hand-selected, 1-piece flame maple top and back put a rare and gorgeous spin on this legendary instrument. A traditional mahogany neck delivers a centered tone with plenty of warmth. And the rosewood fretboard brings its familiar smooth feel and rich harmonic tones. If you’ve always wanted the best of vintage designs with once-in-a-lifetime maple construction, the 1959 ES-335 Hand-selected Reissue is your guitar.
The first ES-335s that rolled off the Gibson production line have achieved legendary status. Because of the semi-hollowbody design, the two humbucking pickups, and pearloid dot inlays, collectors are happy to pay astronomical prices for vintage examples in good condition. This semi-hollowbody has the same 3-ply maple top and back with quartersawn Adirondack spruce bracing, a vintage-spec mahogany neck topped with a smooth-playing rosewood fretboard, and the same historic truss rod. Grab a Gibson Memphis 1959 ES-335 Hand-selected Reissue, and get that vintage experience for a lot less.
