Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Gibson Custom’s 1958 ES-335 Reissue pairs a semi-hollow maple/poplar/maple body with a solid maple centerblock, combining the model’s hollowbody resonance with the clarity, sustain and feedback control described for its construction. Its matched Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, separate volume and tone controls, and three-way selector provide familiar hands-on shaping. The substantial Authentic 1959 mahogany neck, Heavy Aged Watermelon Red finish and limited run of 100 make it a distinctly period-focused ES-335 reissue.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Players who want semi-hollow resonance with the sustain and feedback control of a maple centerblock.
- Working through pickup and control changes using two volume controls, two tone controls and a three-way toggle.
- Collectors seeking one of the 100 instruments in the 2026 Limited-Edition Collection.
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Left-handed players; this model is specified as right handed.
