1963 ES-335 Historic Block Reissue
Gibson 1963 ES-335 Historic Block Reissue Nickel Hardware

A Custom Shop marvel with the fleet feel and luxury looks of the fastest 335 ever.

In mid-1962 Gibson's fantastically popular thinline semihollow wonder machine adopted a thinner, faster neck profile and gorgeous pearloid block inlays to enhance the rosewood fretboard. This precision Historic reissue is identical in every way to the original. It's made on the original forms by some of the world's finest luthiers.
