Description
The Epiphone 1962 ES-335 Reissue from the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson lineup brings one of the most celebrated electric guitar designs back to life with outstanding attention to detail. Modeled after a year that's often overlooked in modern reissues, this guitar captures the spirit of 1962 when rounded cutaways, small block inlays, and slim neck profiles ruled the scene. Whether you're a seasoned pro or a passionate player looking to connect with a timeless design, this ES-335 Reissue makes it easy to tap into a golden era of tone and craftsmanship.
Built with a five-ply maple/poplar semi-hollow body and a solid maple center block, it nails that perfect balance of warm resonance and controlled feedback; ideal for everything from blues and classic rock to jazz and country. A one-piece mahogany neck carved to a fast 1960s SlimTaper C profile, paired with a rosewood fingerboard featuring rounded edges and medium jumbo frets, creates an incredibly comfortable feel. Vintage-accurate side dots, an open-book headstock, and a set of hand-wired USA-made Gibson Custombucker pickups wired to CTS® pots and Black Beauty capacitors ensure this guitar sounds as authentic as it looks.
Offered in both Sixties Cherry and Vintage Burst finishes, each version carries a vintage gloss that feels right at home on stage or in the studio. Both options showcase the 1962 ES-335's classic silhouette with a cool, broken-in vibe, complemented by smooth Epiphone Deluxe tuners and a rock-solid ABR-1 bridge setup. Complete with a vintage-style black hardshell case, this Reissue is a faithful nod to a legendary model that still feels as fresh and inspiring as ever.
