Gibson Custom Shop '58 ES-335 Electric Guitar, Murphy Lab Light Aged, Tri-Burst

This stunning Gibson Custom Shop '58 ES-335, with Murphy Lab Light Aged Tri-Burst finish, is a guitar that commands attention. One of three distinct finishes commemorating the inaugural ES-335 (the others coming in the form of a Faded Tobacco Burst Heavy Aged, and a Dirty Blonde Heavy Aged), this model pays homage to the groundbreaking semi-hollow guitar design conceived by former Gibson President Ted McCarty. From B.B. King to Eric Clapton, Larry Carlton, and Warren Haynes, this iconic instrument has left an indelible mark on the music world.

Fashioned with a 3-ply Maple/Poplar/Maple laminate body, the '58 ES-335 boasts two deep cutaways and resonant f-holes. Its mahogany neck features a larger '58 rounded neck profile and is crowned with an unbound Indian rosewood fingerboard, hosting 22 frets adorned with dot inlays.

True to its vintage inspiration, this '58 ES-335 features Gibson's unpotted Custombuckers in the neck and bridge positions, coupled with CTS 500K Audio Taper Pots and Paper-in-Oil Caps, ensuring precise tonal control with its 2 Volume and 2 Tone knobs.

Crafted by Gibson's esteemed Murphy Lab, the guitar's Light Aged treatment lends it an authentic vintage character, evoking the essence of a well-played instrument that has stood the test of time. The Tri-Burst finish, complemented by nickel-plated hardware aged to perfection by the Murphy Lab, adds to its timeless allure, featuring relic'd tailpiece, bridge, and tuning machines.

Limited to 130 instruments for each finish, the 1958 ES-335 Reissue Murphy Lab models come complete with a brown and pink Lifton five-latch case, embodying their exceptional craftsmanship and exclusivity.
