Gibson ES-335 60s Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar, Sixties Cherry

Decade after decade, Gibson's iconic semi-hollow is still a classic. Case in point: The Gibson ES-335 60s in Sixties Cherry. The timeless Electric Spanish semi-hollow has been chalking up hit after hit for generations. Today's Gibson USA-made model builds up with so much semi-hollow excellence to make for even more time in the spotlight.

A particular fan-favorite era of Gibson guitarists, the '60s are surely alive and well with the ES-335 60s. The era's moves toward playability arrive ahead of the pack with this thoroughly authentic '60s model. Everything here starts, as so many fantastic Electric Spanishes have, with a semi-hollow maple/poplar/maple body and maple centerblock. This authoritative semi-hollow body projects with vivid acoustic tonality with feedback defeated and sustain enhanced by the quality maple block.

From here, this '60s classic extends out with a glued-in set mahogany neck assuming the classically playable '60s-style SlimTaper-profile neck. Slipping seamlessly from higher to lower registers with ease, the neck's playability is matched by a bound rosewood fingerboard lined with twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets. The board measures at a flat twelve-inch radius and is punctuated with small block inlays for a vintage-accurate look.

The voice of this '60s classic comes to life with the inclusion of two T-Type Alnico 5 humbuckers. These rich, warm, and powerful humbuckers breathe with character for pickups that fit anywhere and everywhere. Backed up by a robust hardware setup, the ES-335 60s features a sturdy ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge with a Stop Bar tailpiece. Grover Rotomatic Milk Bottle tuning machines line the iconic Gibson headstock for easy tuning. This American-made ES-335 travels with an included hardshell case.

A '60s classic for the modern day – or any day for that matter – the ES-335 is a icon in and out of time.
