The Story

Memphis '59 ES-335 Reissue Electric Guitar Vintage Burst

Here’s the new for 2016 reissue of the second iteration of the Gibson ES-336, the bound “Dot Neck” ES-335 of 1959. The ’59 ES-335 was built with that classic looking “Mickey Mouse Ears” body shape and contours, a bound mahogany neck with dot inlays, single-ring Kluson tuners, and hot hide glue used for the centerblock and bracing. The guitar has a traditional “C” neck profile, two MHS humbuckers, and a historic no-tube truss rod. An excellent 335 for any Gibson semi-hollowbody enthusiast.

Includes: Hardshell Case, Certificate of Authenticity, Paperwork
