Gibson Custom Shop '61 ES-335 Reissue 2021 - Present - Vintage Burst VOS
Our users rate Reverb
Up for sale is an exceptional 2022 Gibson Custom Shop 1961 ES-335 Reissue VOS in a stunning, historically accurate Vintage Burst finish.
Handcrafted at the legendary Gibson Custom Shop in Nashville, Tennessee, this instrument is a great recreation of the historic '61 golden-era semi-hollowbody.
This guitar features the highly coveted "Mickey Mouse ear" cutaways, a resonant solid maple center block, and the ultra-comfortable 1961 Skinny C-shape neck profile.
Equipped with unpotted Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, it delivers the definitive, woody, bite-and-bloom PAF tone that made the original ES-335 a legend.
The VOS (Vintage Original Spec) finish gives the Vintage Burst nitrocellulose lacquer a gorgeous, subtle patina and gently tarnishes the nickel hardware for an authentic, time-capsule look without the aggressive artificial wear of a heavy relic.
This guitar really sings and plays like a dream, will be very regretful if she sells but looking to clear some space for the family.
Local inspection and pickup.
Overall Condition: Excellent.
Body: Extremely clean with only the lightest signs of handling. No major dings, deep scratches, or buckle rash.
Neck & Frets: The neck is straight, the truss rod functions perfectly, and the frets show virtually zero wear.
