Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1962 ES-335 Reissue Sixties Cherry

Inspired by Gibson Custom 1962 ES-335 Reissue Sixties Cherry Item Description

This is the new Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom 1962 ES-335 - an attainable recreation of one of the most coveted electric guitars in the world. Epiphone, in cooperation with Gibson Custom, is proud to introduce the 1962 ES-335 Reissue, a guitar that was very much inspired by Gibson Custom’s ES-335 offerings but purposefully based on a model year that Gibson Custom does not currently reissue – 1962, a year when popular features like rounded cutaways, small block inlays, and a fast-playing, slim neck profile were all present on the Gibson ES-335.

The Epiphone 1962 ES-335 Reissue has a semi-hollow 5-ply layered maple/poplar body with rounded cutaways and a solid maple centerblock for outstanding sustain and feedback resistance. The genuine one-piece mahogany neck has a thin 1960s SlimTaper™ C profile and is capped with a rosewood fretboard that is outfitted with 22 medium jumbo frets and mother-of-pearl small block inlays. The fretboard features rounded edges to give it a comfortable, played-in feel that invites you to explore it for hours at a time. Even the side dot position markers are the same size as on vintage 1962 ES-335 models and are placed in historically accurate locations.

A huge advantage these guitars have over other Epiphones is the inclusion of Gibson USA Custombucker pickups with CTS pots and bumblebee caps. The Vintage Gloss finish gives the guitar a 'vintage' appearance by dulling down the usual shine but not being overly aged. Each Epiphone Inspired by Gibson Custom guitar includes a period-correct hardshell case!

Includes: Hardshell Case and Paperwork
