The Story

1961 ES-335 Reissue Made 2 Measure Antique Natural and Maple Fretboard

This is a Music Zoo Made 2 Measure '61 ES-335 from the Gibson Custom Shop created by just simply asking "what if...?" We tweaked this one out with an Antique Natural finish and most obviously the addition of a maple fretboard. Adding some nice snap to the articulate ES-335, the maple feels great and is inlaid with pearl dots. All of the other features of a '61 ES-335 are there; a thin D neck shape, double-ring tuners and two Custombucker pickups!

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity and Paperwork
