Description
The Gibson ES-335 60s in Sixties Cherry embodies one of the most recognizable looks in Gibson history. From blues and soul to classic rock and fusion, the bright cherry finish and sleek early-'60s appointments immediately call to mind the players and recordings that made the ES-335 a legend.
The semi-hollow maple/poplar/maple body is paired with a solid maple centerblock, creating a lively and resonant instrument with excellent sustain and controlled feedback. The Sixties Cherry gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish delivers that unmistakable vintage Gibson look, bold enough to stand out while remaining timeless. Cream binding and the vintage-style five-ply pickguard complete the classic aesthetic.
The mahogany SlimTaper neck provides a faster, more streamlined feel compared to late-'50s ES models, making this guitar especially comfortable for fluid lead playing and extended sessions. The bound rosewood fingerboard features medium jumbo frets and small block acrylic inlays that perfectly capture the style of early-'60s ES-335s. Grover Rotomatic tuners with milk bottle buttons add reliable tuning stability while reinforcing the guitar's vintage-correct personality.
Loaded with calibrated T-Type humbuckers, this ES-335 produces articulate mids, clear highs, and a focused low end with exceptional dynamic response. These pickups capture the character of vintage T-Top humbuckers, offering enough bite and clarity to cut through a mix while retaining the warmth and fullness expected from a great semi-hollow Gibson. Hand-wired controls with Orange Drop capacitors provide smooth, musical control over every tonal nuance.
The Sixties Cherry finish feels inseparable from the ES-335 legacy itself. It highlights the guitar's curves beautifully while giving it the unmistakable visual identity that has remained iconic for decades.
At Cream City Music, we see the ES-335 60s Sixties Cherry as one of the purest expressions of Gibson semi-hollow design. It delivers classic looks, smooth playability, and endlessly versatile tone in a package that never goes out of style.
