<p>Today the Gibson Custom Shop creates exacting duplicates of the ES-335 as it first left the Kalamazoo plant in 1958. That year just 267 were built, but the original vintage 335s grew steadily in popularity, peaking in 1967 thanks largely to Eric Clapton&#8217;s high-profile use of a cherry ES-335 in the band Cream.  </p>
<p><b>Body and Finishes</b><br /> The Custom Shop ES-335 is available with many finish options, reflecting the color choices that have evolved over the model&#8217;s 50-year history. In Satin finish, trans black and cherry colors are available, with a plain maple top, back, and rims. Ebony is available only in plain maple. With the figured maple top, back, and rims option, cherry, tri-burst, antique natural, light burst, and vintage sunburst colors are available. Wine red, trans brown, Beale Street Blue, and cinnamon burst finishes are also available in limited quantities, along with gold hardware, for figured and for plain maple models.  </p>
<p>Regardless of color, the ES-335 retains its classic proportions: 16 1/2-inches wide, 20-inches long, and 1 3/4-inches deep. The neck is one-piece mahogany beneath a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearloid inlays and a single-ply binding. Additionally, there&#8217;s single-ply binding on the top and back.  </p>
<p><b>Hardware</b><br /> All hardware is nickel, and there&#8217;s a classic ABR-1 bridge with a lightweight aluminum stopbar tailpiece. Neck length is 24 3/4 inches with a 1 11/16-inch nut width. Satin finish models have vintage style tulip shaped tuners, while figured and plain tops come with Grover kidney-shaped tuners. All Custom Shop ES-335s have powerful &#8216;57 Classic humbucking pickups, two volume pots, two tone pots, and a three-way pickup selector switch. They are strung with Gibson Brite Wire .010 strings and come safely nestled in a black levant case.  </p>
<p><b>Famous Players</b><br /> Spanning numerous decades, the ES-335 has been in the hands of countless musicians. From Chuck Berry&#8217;s numerous performances to Alvin Lee&#8217;s incendiary performance at Woodstock to Police&#8217;s 2008 tour in NYC, the ES-335 has been the instrument of choice for any players seeking gorgeous, round, mellow tones, tempered with the edge and sustain of a full-blooded solidbody electric like the Les Paul.  </p>
<p><b>Nitrocellulose Finish</b><br /> Applying a nitrocellulose finish to any Gibson guitar is one of the most labor-intensive elements of the guitar-making process. A properly applied nitro finish requires extensive man hours, several evenly applied coats, and an exorbitant amount of drying time. But this fact has never swayed Gibson into changing this time-tested method, employed ever since the first Gibson guitar was swathed with lacquer back in 1894. Why? For starters, a nitro finish dries to a much thinner coat than a polyurethane finish, which means there is less interference with the natural vibration of the instrument, allowing for a purer tone. A nitro finish is also a softer finish, which makes it easily repairable. You can touch up a scratch or ding on a nitro finish, but you can&#8217;t do the same on a poly finish. In addition, a nitro finish is very porous in nature, and actually gets thinner over time. It does not &#8220;seal&#8221; wood in an airtight shell&#8211;as a poly finish does&#8211;and allows the wood to breathe and age properly.  </p>
<p>All VOS (Vintage Original Spec) series guitars will use a proprietary process that includes unique steps for staining, wet-sanding, and hand-rubbing; subsequently the guitars reflect what a well-cared for 40-year-old guitar looks like. The result is a remarkable patina that will delight even the most discriminating enthusiast.</p>

Finally they convinced him they were serious. It took years more before they finally came up with an axe he liked more than the one he was playing. What they came up with was this guitar. The upper bout cutaway lets the neck join the body at the 17th fret for finger-flying freedom beyond the traditional jazz hollowbody. Maple top, back, and thinline sides with 2 Silent 58 humbuckers provide a thick, modulated jazz tone with a lot of flexibility. Gold hardware multiple top binding, and neck/head binding combine with tripartite MOP inlays on an ebony fretboard for fabulous looks. Signed by Pat Metheny with official certificate from Ibanez.  Includes the original hardshell case.</p>

<p>Today the Gibson Custom Shop creates exacting duplicates of the ES-335 as it first left the Kalamazoo plant in 1958. That year just 267 were built, but the original vintage 335s grew steadily in popularity, peaking in 1967 thanks largely to Eric Clapton&#8217;s high-profile use of a cherry ES-335 in the band Cream.  </p>
<p><b>Body and Finishes</b><br /> The Custom Shop ES-335 is available with many finish options, reflecting the color choices that have evolved over the model&#8217;s 50-year history. In Satin finish, trans black and cherry colors are available, with a plain maple top, back, and rims. Ebony is available only in plain maple. With the figured maple top, back, and rims option, cherry, tri-burst, antique natural, light burst, and vintage sunburst colors are available. Wine red, trans brown, Beale Street Blue, and cinnamon burst finishes are also available in limited quantities, along with gold hardware, for figured and for plain maple models.  </p>
<p>Regardless of color, the ES-335 retains its classic proportions: 16 1/2-inches wide, 20-inches long, and 1 3/4-inches deep. The neck is one-piece mahogany beneath a 22-fret rosewood fingerboard with pearloid inlays and a single-ply binding. Additionally, there&#8217;s single-ply binding on the top and back.  </p>
<p><b>Hardware</b><br /> All hardware is nickel, and there&#8217;s a classic ABR-1 bridge with a lightweight aluminum stopbar tailpiece. Neck length is 24 3/4 inches with a 1 11/16-inch nut width. Satin finish models have vintage style tulip shaped tuners, while figured and plain tops come with Grover kidney-shaped tuners. All Custom Shop ES-335s have powerful &#8216;57 Classic humbucking pickups, two volume pots, two tone pots, and a three-way pickup selector switch. They are strung with Gibson Brite Wire .010 strings and come safely nestled in a black levant case.  </p>
<p><b>Famous Players</b><br /> Spanning numerous decades, the ES-335 has been in the hands of countless musicians. From Chuck Berry&#8217;s numerous performances to Alvin Lee&#8217;s incendiary performance at Woodstock to Police&#8217;s 2008 tour in NYC, the ES-335 has been the instrument of choice for any players seeking gorgeous, round, mellow tones, tempered with the edge and sustain of a full-blooded solidbody electric like the Les Paul.  </p>
<p><b>Nitrocellulose Finish</b><br /> Applying a nitrocellulose finish to any Gibson guitar is one of the most labor-intensive elements of the guitar-making process. A properly applied nitro finish requires extensive man hours, several evenly applied coats, and an exorbitant amount of drying time. But this fact has never swayed Gibson into changing this time-tested method, employed ever since the first Gibson guitar was swathed with lacquer back in 1894. Why? For starters, a nitro finish dries to a much thinner coat than a polyurethane finish, which means there is less interference with the natural vibration of the instrument, allowing for a purer tone. A nitro finish is also a softer finish, which makes it easily repairable. You can touch up a scratch or ding on a nitro finish, but you can&#8217;t do the same on a poly finish. In addition, a nitro finish is very porous in nature, and actually gets thinner over time. It does not &#8220;seal&#8221; wood in an airtight shell&#8211;as a poly finish does&#8211;and allows the wood to breathe and age properly.  </p>
<p>All VOS (Vintage Original Spec) series guitars will use a proprietary process that includes unique steps for staining, wet-sanding, and hand-rubbing; subsequently the guitars reflect what a well-cared for 40-year-old guitar looks like. The result is a remarkable patina that will delight even the most discriminating enthusiast.</p>
