About this listing
The Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1959 ES-355 Varitone Bigsby is the highest-spec model in the ES range, offering top-tier appointments and premium craftsmanship. Based on the legendary ES-335 platform, it features a semi-hollow maple/poplar/maple body with a solid maple centreblock for enhanced sustain and excellent feedback resistance. The twin humbucking pickups, each with dedicated volume and tone controls, provide a wide range of tonal options suitable for various playing styles, from clean jazz to overdriven rock. An ebony fretboard with 1950s-style block inlays, a split diamond headstock inlay, and gold hardware elevate the aesthetic and functional appeal, while multi-ply binding throughout adds both durability and visual sophistication.The Murphy Lab Ultra Light Aging treatment adds a historically accurate vintage look and feel. Applied by skilled artisans, this process replicates decades of gentle play wear, giving the guitar a broken-in feel without compromising structural integrity. The lightly aged finish and hardware create a refined appearance that appeals to collectors and players who appreciate the character of vintage instruments with the reliability of a new build.Additional features enhance both the sound and performance of the ES-355. The Varitone switch offers a range of preset tonal filters, expanding the guitar's versatility far beyond standard tone controls. The ABR-1 bridge ensures stable intonation, while the Bigsby B7 vibrato adds expressive pitch control for subtle vibrato effects. Grover kidney tuners provide smooth, accurate tuning and reliable stability, making this guitar an ideal choice for professional musicians and discerning enthusiasts alike.
