Description:

From blues to jazz to rock, there’s just no substitute for the vibrant tone and supreme playing comfort of the Gibson Custom 1959 ES-355 Reissue.

Gibson released the ’355 in the late 1950s as a top-of-the-line companion to the popular ES-335. Its iconic semi-hollowbody, feedback-fighting center block, premium Custombucker Alnico III pickups, and custom wiring harness make the 59 ES-355 Reissue play and sound like a treasured classic.

A super-stable solid mahogany neck and Plek’d premium ebony fretboard with rolled binding gives this upscale axe a smooth, precision feel to accommodate diverse playing styles. The Gibson Custom ’59 ES-355 Reissue is a high-class take on a legendary electric guitar that helped shape the sound of modern music.

This version features a Bigsby Vibrato and was ordered through the Made 2 Measure program of the Gibson Custom Shop. A fascinating and rare instrument with a strong vintage vibe.
