The Story

1959 ES-335 Wraparound Tailpiece Vintage Sunburst Made 2 Measure

Those who have been following The Music Zoo and all of our wild Gibson Custom Shop ideas over the years might remember the 'Wraparound 335' from 2010-2011...and now it's back! As soon as we picked up the newest Made 2 Measure '59 ES-335 Wraparounds we remembered what we loved about this model. The wraparound tailpiece adds a ton of resonance to the already acoustically-loud ES-335 and gives the strings a slinkier feel when you’re playing which is exactly what we love about Les Paul Juniors. All other specs on the guitar are classic ’59 ES-335 with the laminate maple body, Authentic ’59 Medium “C” neck profile, hide glue contruction and two Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers to provide the tone. Check out the Wraparound ES-335 and how this small but significant hardware change will totally flip around what you thought an ES-335 sounds and feels like!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity and Paperwork
