Sound Pure's Take
Condition: Used, Excellent
When we say we get some great 335s in used, this would be a prime example of what we're referring to. '59 spec from tuners to tail and barely a scratch on it, not to mention the voice on this thing--those Alnico IIIs will give you chills! If you're looking to get your hands on a bonafide Gibson semi-hollow, you just won't do better than this.

The Historic Reissue ES-335 is back and better than ever thanks to a year of studying, scanning, and listening to original examples. The expert craftspeople at Gibson Custom Shop have rendered every contour, profile, inlay and color of the priceless vintage models in magnificent detail. The result is a playing and ownership experience that will keep you coming back for more. The 1959 Reissue models feature rounded cutaways, Medium C-shape neck profiles scanned from originals, dot inlays and vintage-replica parts.
