Epiphone 1962 ES-335 Reissue Vintage Burst - Returned Item (Condition: Very Good)

Gibson ES-335 Reissue Hollowbody Electric Guitar in Vintage Burst Including Case!

The Gibson ES-335 is one of the greatest guitar designs of all time. Known for its extraordinary versatility, it has been used by countless musicians across a wide range of genres. By combining the best elements of solidbody and thinline hollowbody designs, it’s a highly resonant guitar that resists feedback much better than a fully hollow guitar thanks to its internal solid maple center block.

Now Epiphone is proud to introduce, in collaboration with Gibson Custom, the 1962 ES-335 Reissue — a guitar strongly inspired by Gibson Custom’s ES-335 offerings but deliberately based on a model year Gibson Custom is not currently reissuing: 1962, a year that featured popular details such as rounded cutaways, small block inlays, and a fast, slim neck profile on the Gibson ES-335.

The Epiphone 1962 ES-335 Reissue has a semi-hollow, five-ply glued maple/poplar body with rounded cutaways and a solid maple center block for excellent sustain and improved feedback resistance. The one-piece mahogany neck has a thin 1960s-style SlimTaper C profile and is fitted with a rosewood fingerboard featuring 22 medium-jumbo frets and small mother-of-pearl block inlays. The fingerboard has rolled edges for a comfortable, played-in feel that invites hours of exploration. Even the side dot position markers are the same size as the vintage 1962 ES-335 models and are placed at historically accurate positions.

The Gibson-style headstock with the Epiphone logo and Gibson crown is fitted with smooth-turning Epiphone Deluxe tuners with double-ring keystone-style buttons and a Graph Tech nut. An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and a Gibson historic reissue aluminum stop bar tailpiece anchor the strings at the other end directly into the solid maple center block, contributing to the excellent sustain of the 1962 ES-335.

The electronics consist of two US-made Gibson Custombucker humbuckers, hand-wired to CTS potentiometers and Black Beauty paper-in-oil capacitors, delivering the authentic tonal versatility of the ES-335. This makes the 1962 ES-335 Reissue a great choice for rock, blues, jazz, country and much more.

The Sixties Cherry and Vintage Burst finishes feature a vintage gloss that gives them a cool retro vibe. A black vintage-style hard case with a gold interior and an exterior in the Inspired by Gibson Custom design is also included to keep this beautiful 1962 ES-335 Reissue safe in storage and on the road.

True to the Historic Original!
