2009 Gibson Custom 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue AVS Gloss
It’s been 50 years since the birth of one of the most celebrated guitars in history, the 1959 ES-335 Dot. In recognition of it’s 50th Anniversary, Gibson Custom has just released this Limited Edition 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue.
Perfect to the last detail, this limited production model from Gibson Custom is indistinguishable in every way from the 335s that rolled off the line in ’59. Starting with the traditional plain laminated maple top, back and sides, with single-ply crème binding on both the top and back, the 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue is true to the originalâ??s â??59 specs. Its one-piece, 24-¾ inch scale length mahogany neck features a long tenon, a 22-fret Madagascar rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays and a rounded â??59 neck profile. In addition to its period-correct look, this guitar recreates the legendary tone of the original 1959 ES-335 by utilizing a pair of Gibsonâ??s renowned â??57 Classic humbucking pickups, which is the closest thing to original â??PAFâ? pickups on the market today. High-quality CTS volume and tone potentiometers with â??bumble beeâ? capacitors offer a fundamental electronics package, thus insuring this guitarâ??s unique tone is captured and delivered with the utmost accuracy and originality. Other traditional appointments include vintage tulip tuners, a holly headstock veneer and all nickel hardware, including an ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminum stopbar tailpiece. This guitar also features the Antique Vintage Sunburst thin nitrocellulose gloss finish, just like the original model. A thin nitro finish creates less interference with the natural vibration of the instrument, allowing for a purer tone. It is porous in nature, and actually gets thinner over time. It does not â??sealâ? wood but rather allows the wood to breathe and age properly.
