Historically correct construction
The construction of the 1959 Reissue E-335 is naturally historically correct using the tonewoods of the Fifties, with detailed scans of the Vintage originals guaranteeing accurate reproduction of all shapings, from the "mouse ears" of the body to the neck profile. and to avoid feedback without compromising the guitar's airy-resonant sound, the body made of the typical maple-poplar laminate is stabilized by a center block of maple. The mahogany neck, glued with Hide Glue and Long Tenon, with the pleasantly strong "Authentic '59 Medium C" profile, promises optimal playing characteristics up to the 22nd fret of the rosewood fingerboard, where naturally the historically authenticated Dot Inlays mark the positions.
With Alnico III magnets proven Gibson Custombucker and a hand-wired circuit with Paper-in-Oil Caps promise the best vintage sounds.
Custombucker pickups
To ensure that the '59 Reissue ES-335 also meets all vintage demands in terms of sound, it is equipped with Gibsoncustombucker pickups in the neck and bridge positions. Thanks to Alnico III magnets and non-waxed coils, the humbuckers walk in the footsteps of the legendary PAF pickups and deliver a particularly airy sound, which is characterized by the resonance-friendly character of the Semi Hollow construction and is ideally suited for the classic styles of blues, rock and jazz. A hand-wired circuit with historically correct oil-paper capacitors guarantees optimal tonal adaptability with smooth Treble roll-offs.
On the headstock of the ES-335 Reissue, Kluson Single Line/Single Ring tuners provide stable and accurate tuning.
