Gibson ES-335 60s - Cherry

Gibson's venerable ES-335 represents an enduringly sworn-by semi-hollow recipe that has warranted few amendments since its inception. However, true Gibson enthusiasts — including many of us here at Sweetwater — will undoubtedly flock to the meticulously appointed second-decade features of the Gibson ES-335 60s. Structured with that legendary double-cut, thinline 3-ply body of maple-poplar-maple and internally treated with a solid maple center block, this ES-335 delivers an instantly recognizable feel and vintage-inspired sound. Fitted with an era-appropriate SlimTaper mahogany neck, the ES-335 '60s offers quick, incredibly smooth control. Tonally, Gibson's T-Type humbuckers give the ES-335 60s its voice, delivering that quintessential late-'60s blend of sonic balance and crystalline articulation. Supplementing its vintage shape and sonics are a multitude of visual touches perfectly emblematic of the decade's offerings, such as small block inlays, "milk bottle"-style Rotomatic tuners, black Top Hat knobs with pointers and silver reflectors, and that instantly identifiable short pickguard. For Gibson '60s purists and first-timers to the ES-335 alike, the ES-335 60s delivers the sound and style that cemented the original as an American icon.
