The Story

1959 ES-335 Made 2 Measure Silverburst w/ Ebony Fretboard

Come on, how cool is this? We dreamt it up and the Custom Shop delivered big time! We took a 1959 ES-335 and popped it into a time machine to go forward 25 years and receive the classic '80s Silverburst finish. All of the traditional '59 specs are there including the hide glue constriction, authentic '50 Medium "C" neck profile and dot inlays on the ebony board - upgraded from rosewood to match the finish! The Silverburst looks excellent on this model. Who says you can't play Drop D riffs on a 335?!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity
