The Story

1959 ES-335 Made 2 Measure Silverburst 2024

Originally spec'd and sold here at The Music Zoo, this is a lightly used M2M '59 ES-335 in VOS Silverburst! There's only light pickwear on the pickguard on this one.

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 rosewood board. The Silverburst looks excellent on this model. Who says you can't play Drop D riffs on a 335?!

Includes: Original Case and Certificate of Authenticity
