Epiphone 1959 ES-355 Hollowbody Electric Guitar in Cherry Red including Case!

In collaboration with Gibson Custom, Epiphone proudly presents the 1959 ES-355, a stunning reproduction of the outstanding ES model from the legendary class of 1959. It is the flagship ES model in all its glory, from dimensions and contours to precise inlays and tonal experience.

The 1959 ES-355 features a 5-ply maple/poplar body with a solid maple center block for sustain and feedback resistance, a one-piece mahogany neck with a 50s Rounded Medium C profile, and an ebony fretboard adorned with block mother-of-pearl inlays. The Gibson Open-Book style headstock is decorated with split diamond and Epiphone logo mother-of-pearl inlays, complemented by gold Grover Rotomatic tuners and the Inspired by Gibson double diamond logo on the back.

The 1959 ES-355 is powered by two Gibson Custombuckers, hand-wired with CTS potentiometers, Mallory capacitors, a Switchcraft pickup selector switch, and an output jack.

A brown-pink hard shell case with the Inspired by Gibson Custom logo is also included!

It is a beautiful guitar, I am very happy! It was delivered within 5 days and was in perfect condition - i was worried a precious guitar would be delicate.
The guitar was well tuned, action is good, and it is a quality product.

You should keep that in mind. It is simply not a US made instrument.
The resemblance is visually astonishing, but in the small details it differs from the original.
It sounds relatively dry, so OK, but somehow not very dynamic without amplification.
Personally, I miss the spirit or the DNA that you get with an ES-355 from the Gibson US factory.

If you look very closely, you can see slight defects in the paintwork. Especially on the f-holes. But you can easily overlook this, especially as the guitar leaves nothing to be desired in terms of playability, sound and settings, at least for me. And at a sensationally fair price. Not forgetting the hard case, which is included in the price. If you can't afford the sister model or don't want to, this is a first-class choice. A clear buy recommendation from me!
