As part of their 2026 Limited Collection, the Gibson Custom Shop revives a formidable semi-hollow instrument for the modern day with all the retro-inspired stylings to make it exceptional. Black as night and oh so stylish, this ES-345 Reissue is an imposing model for the history books.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis limited Gibson Custom creation sets off with an authentic ES-335 doublecut semi-hollow body brought together with maple and poplar. The resonant and airy maple\/poplar\/maple assembly makes for a bold, full tonal profile to launch everything off. A solid maple centerblock lands within this semi-hollow body to enhance sustain and defeat acoustic feedback. This whole body is wrapped in a Gibson Custom Shop nitrocellulose lacquer finish utilizing their Murphy Lab lacquer aging and wear techniques to replicate authentic age and classy damage for an overall stunning ebony look. Multi-ply binding wraps the body for a clean geometric accent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFrom here, this Gibson Custom ES-345 Reissue brings on a mahogany neck in a full Authentic 1959 profile. Ensuring speedy moves from lower to higher registers, this neck travels easily and makes for an easy fretting experience. A rosewood fingerboard joins with twenty-two Reissue Medium Jumbo frets and aged cellulose split parallelogram inlays. With these two elements, the entirety of this ES-345 plays incredibly smoothly for expressive soloing and complex chords.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuch solos and chords are brought out by the guitar's electronics setup. In either pickup position, a Gibson Custombucker Alnico 3 humbucking pickup lands to recreate the tones of late 1950s Patent-Applied-For humbuckers. These rich, robust humbuckers break the mold for a full, warm tonal profile that can do just about anything. Two volume and tone controls match these pickups alongside a definite looker of a feature: a mono Varitone rotary switch that expands this ES-345's sounds even further.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis limited Gibson Custom ES-345 backs everything up with a few sturdy hardware specs. At the headstock, a nylon nut and Kluson Deluxe tuning machines land for smooth stringing and setups. Toward the opposite end of the scale, a ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge matches with a stunning gold-finished Bigsby vibrato tailpiece for working deep vibrato pitch bends into playing while retaining great intonation. This limited release Gibson Custom Shop ES-345 Reissue travels with an included Lifton reissue hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA semi-hollow all dressed up with nowhere to go, care to give this ES-345 a night on the town?\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c!-- Highlight --\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGibson Custom Shop 2026 Limited Collection model\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaple\/poplar\/maple semi-hollow body with solid maple centerblock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMahogany neck in Authentic 1959 profile\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRosewood fingerboard with twenty-two Reissue Medium Jumbo frets\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAged cellulose split parallelogram fret inlays\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo Gibson Custombucker Alnico 3 humbucking pickups\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMono Varitone rotary tone control switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNylon nut and Kluson Deluxe tuning machines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge with Bigsby vibrato tailpiece\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGibson Custom Shop Murphy Lab Heavy Aged nitrocellulose lacquer gloss finish\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLifton reissue hardshell case included\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gibson Custom Shop","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":55348384137384,"sku":"59ES34526LE23271","price":8999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1210\/3886\/files\/59ES34526LE23271-gibson-custom-shop-1959-es-345-reissue-guitar-w-bigsby-heavy-aged-ebony-1.png?v=1782489872","url":"https:\/\/www.russomusic.com\/products\/gibson-custom-shop-1959-es-345-reissue-electric-guitar-w-bigsby-heavy-aged-ebony","provider":"Russo Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
