Gibson Custom Dealer Select 64 ES-335 Gold Sparkle Red Burst Gloss NH w/case 140418

Serial: 140418
Weight: 8 lb 6.4 oz

This Gibson Custom Dealer Select 1964 ES-335 brings a standout Gold Sparkle Red Burst Gloss finish to one of the most beloved ES designs ever made. Based on the classic ’64 ES-335 platform, it pairs sharp-horn semi-hollow construction, a Bigsby vibrato, a Custom Made plate, and a pair of Custombucker pickups with a finish you will not see every day.

The body uses 3-ply maple/poplar/maple construction with a solid maple centerblock, giving the guitar the air and resonance of a semi-hollow with the focus and sustain needed for louder stage work. The Gold Sparkle Red Burst Gloss finish adds a bold custom look while keeping the ES-335 silhouette front and center.

The mahogany neck features Gibson Custom’s ’64 Medium C profile, scanned from original examples for a comfortable vintage feel. An Indian rosewood fingerboard with small block inlays, 24.75" scale length, nylon nut, and Authentic Medium-Jumbo frets keeps the playing experience rooted in the golden-era ES formula.

A pair of Custombucker pickups delivers clear, open humbucker tone with the dynamic response that makes these Custom Shop ES models so useful across blues, rock, country, soul, and studio work. CTS 500K audio taper potentiometers, Black Cat capacitors, and a 3-way Switchcraft toggle complete the vintage-style electronics package.

Hardware includes an ABR-1 bridge, Bigsby B7 with Custom Made plate, Kluson single-line double-ring tuners, black top hat knobs with silver inserts, and nickel hardware. It ships with a Lifton black/yellow hardshell case and Certificate of Authenticity.
