Information:

Gibson’s ES Custom Shop is no longer located in Memphis, but now in Nashville. However, in 2016, Custom Shop instruments with VOS finishes of the famous 1963 ES-335 in Sunburst were still being made in Memphis. This edition offered the specifications of one of the Holy Grails of the famous American guitar company, delivering excellent sound and comfort.

This superb guitar has the same specifications as the original, namely: Bumble Bee capacitors, a natural finish reproduction, a neck like the original with a slightly thinner profile than the necks of the late 1950s, a medium C-shape, a nylon nut, a lightweight aluminum bridge, and Kluson tuners. This superb guitar features MHS humbuckers, CTS pots, and all the hardware has been artificially aged. In short, the guitar doesn’t quite look vintage, but fortunately, it sounds almost vintage. The tone is astonishing. It doesn’t feel like you’re playing a new guitar; it’s full, it sings, and it maintains an impressive attack and snap. This instrument is exceptional.

This 2016 instrument, from a collection, rarely played, has virtually no marks or dents, and the frets look new. It comes with its original case, all its paperwork, and a Custom Shop certificate.
