Description
The Gibson ES-335 60s in Dark Walnut channels the sleek feel and sharper tonal edge that defined the evolution of the ES platform in the early 1960s. For players who love the unmistakable voice of a semi-hollow Gibson but prefer a faster neck profile and the punchier response associated with vintage T-Top-style pickups, this model delivers the full experience with authentic period-inspired detail.
Built with a maple/poplar/maple semi-hollow body and solid maple centerblock, the ES-335 60s offers the airy resonance players expect from a thinline semi-hollow while maintaining impressive sustain and excellent feedback resistance. The Dark Walnut gloss nitrocellulose finish gives this version a more understated and sophisticated personality, highlighting the woodgrain beneath while lending the guitar a slightly moodier visual presence. Cream binding and the classic five-ply pickguard complete the unmistakable early-'60s aesthetic.
The mahogany neck features Gibson's SlimTaper profile, offering a slimmer, quicker feel compared to the chunkier necks of the late 1950s. Combined with a bound rosewood fingerboard, medium jumbo frets, and small block inlays, the neck feels fluid and responsive without losing that classic Gibson character. Grover Rotomatic tuners with milk bottle buttons provide excellent tuning stability while reinforcing the guitar's distinctly '60s identity.
A pair of calibrated T-Type humbuckers gives this ES-335 its unmistakably articulate and punchy voice. Inspired by the legendary T-Top pickups of the era, they produce tight lows, focused mids, and crisp highs that excel with clean tones, edge-of-breakup dynamics, and classic rock overdrive. Hand-wired controls with Orange Drop capacitors ensure smooth taper and expressive tonal shaping across all four knobs.
The Dark Walnut finish sets this ES-335 apart visually, giving the instrument a mature, vintage-inspired elegance that feels equally at home in a studio, club, or collection. It is subtle, rich, and deeply classic without relying on flash.
At Cream City Music, we love how the ES-335 60s Dark Walnut captures the sharper feel and tighter response of the early '60s while maintaining everything players love about the ES platform. It is versatile, expressive, and timeless in all the right ways.
