Description
The Gibson ES-335 50s in Vintage Tobacco Burst captures the unmistakable feel and voice of the earliest dot-neck ES models that helped define electric guitar history. For players who gravitate toward the warmth, depth, and substantial feel of late-'50s Gibson instruments, this ES-335 delivers that classic experience with remarkable authenticity. From blues and jazz to roots rock and classic overdriven tones, this guitar thrives in virtually any musical setting.
Built with a maple/poplar/maple semi-hollow body and a solid maple centerblock, the ES-335 50s balances resonance and sustain while keeping unwanted feedback under control. The result is a lively, open voice with excellent note bloom and clarity. The Vintage Tobacco Burst gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish gives the guitar the timeless appearance associated with some of the most sought-after vintage ES models ever produced. Cream binding and the long five-ply pickguard complete the unmistakable late-'50s aesthetic.
The mahogany neck features a substantial Rounded C profile that feels full and comfortable in the hand without becoming cumbersome. Paired with a bound rosewood fingerboard and medium jumbo frets, it offers a smooth and confident playing experience equally suited for chord work, melodic phrasing, and expressive bends. Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons, alongside the Graph Tech nut, provide reliable tuning stability while preserving the guitar's vintage-correct appearance.
A calibrated pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups gives this ES-335 its unmistakably rich and articulate voice. These pickups are designed to recreate the airy, dynamic response of original late-'50s PAF humbuckers, offering warm lows, detailed mids, and smooth highs that react beautifully to touch and picking dynamics. Hand-wired controls with Orange Drop capacitors allow you to shape everything from sparkling cleans to thick, singing overdrive with ease.
Visually, the Vintage Tobacco Burst finish perfectly complements the ES-335's elegant lines and semi-hollow construction. It carries the classic Gibson look that has remained iconic for decades, equally at home under stage lights or hanging in a collection.
At Cream City Music, we love how this ES-335 50s captures the soul of the original models while remaining incredibly versatile for modern players. It delivers vintage-inspired tone, effortless feel, and timeless style in one of Gibson's most legendary designs.
