1959 ES-335 SUNBURST

A Standout for Both Players and Collectors

  • 3-ply laminate body
  • Original Sunburst finish
  • One-piece mahogany neck
  • Fat ‘59 neck profile
  • Brazilian rosewood fretboard with dot inlays
  • Nickel ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge
  • Gold Top Hat knobs
  • Single-ring Kluson® Deluxe tuners

The 1959 ES-335 is a standout for both players and collectors, and this particular instrument features its original Sunburst finish and long pickguard (pickguards were shortened post-1959).

The guitar has been well played but not abused. The only modification made to this instrument from its original state was a professional re-fret with vintage-correct fret wire. This ES-335 is an original stop-tail model that was never modified for a Bigsby® vibrato and has its original PAF pickups, wiring harness, and brown Lifton™ 5-latch hardshell case. There is some arm wear and a couple of deep scratches on the top bass-side bout where the arm rests.

Availability Date: The purchased instrument will be available for pickup at the Gibson Garage in Nashville or shipment to an address in the US starting September 28, 2023.
