Epiphone 1962 ES-335 Reissue Sixties Cherry

Gibson ES-335 Reissue Hollowbody Electric Guitar in Sixties Cherry 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 is a highly resonant guitar that resists feedback much better than a fully hollow chamber guitar thanks to its internal solid maple center block.

Now Epiphone proudly presents, in collaboration with Gibson Custom, the 1962 ES-335 Reissue, a guitar heavily inspired by Gibson Custom’s ES-335 offerings but deliberately based on a model year that Gibson Custom currently does not reissue – 1962, a year when popular features like rounded cutaways, small block inlays, and a fast-playing, slim neck profile were present on the Gibson ES-335.

The Epiphone 1962 ES-335 Reissue features a semi-hollow, five-ply laminated maple/poplar body with rounded cutaways and a solid maple center block for outstanding sustain and feedback resistance. The one-piece mahogany neck has a thin 1960s-style SlimTaper C-profile and is topped with a rosewood fretboard equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets and small mother-of-pearl block inlays. The fretboard edges are rounded, delivering a comfortable, broken-in feel that invites hours of playing. Even the side dot markers match the size of the vintage 1962 ES-335 models and are placed in historically accurate positions.

The Gibson-style headstock with the Epiphone logo and Gibson crown is fitted with smooth-turning Epiphone Deluxe tuners featuring 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 humbucker pickups, 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 fantastic 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 vintage vibe. A black vintage-style hard shell case with gold interior lining and an Inspired by Gibson Custom exterior design is also included to keep this beautiful 1962 ES-335 Reissue safe during storage and travel.
