Product Details

Gibson ES-335 Figured Iced Tea
This instrument is a modified 2021 ES-335 Figured, featuring a Bigsby B7 tremolo and a "CUSTOM MADE" plate.

In the early 1960s, some ES-335s with optional Bigsby tremolos had a "CUSTOM MADE" plate attached to conceal the studs originally intended for the stop tailpiece.
Gibson itself sold a 1964 ES-335 Reissue with a Bigsby B7 and Custom Made plate, suggesting that this design was a symbolic style of the time.

The base 2021 ES-335 Figured also shares some specifications, including the Small Block inlays on the rosewood fretboard, a feature adopted around 1962.
The black top hat knobs, silver reflector, black pickguard, nickel hardware, and ABR-1 type bridge all evoke the early to mid-1960s ES-335.

However, this instrument is not a faithful reissue of the 1964 ES-335.
The Rounded C-shaped neck, Graph Tech nut, Calibrated T-Type humbucker, and Orange Drop capacitors are original elements of the 2021 ES-335 Figured.
In particular, the Calibrated T-Type pickup is not a direct reproduction of the early 60s PAF/Patent Number era pickup; rather, it is a custom guitar that skillfully incorporates vintage design elements into a modern ES-335 base.

While it differs from the original, viewing it within the context of the ES-335's history highlights the unique intent and coolness of this custom instrument.
