Gibson Custom Shop is the pinnacle of craftsmanship, quality, and sound excellence with each instrument celebrating Gibson's legacy.

At the Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, every day is a new thrill. Down the road from the main Gibson craftory, Gibson Custom luthiers build their most coveted instruments with uncompromising craftsmanship, artistry, and historical accuracy. No detail is too fine, no labor too intensive. Gibson's expert craftspeople develop, build, and custom-age each guitar with the obsession of a true aficionado.

This special Gibson Custom Dealer Select 1961 ES-335 pays homage to Gibson’s historic semi-hollowbody with period-correct accuracy, featuring a Silver Ebony gloss finish and a black “stinger” on the back of the neck.

Note: After close inspection, this instrument has light wear around binding. (See pics)
