Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
The Sixties Cherry 1964 ES-335 Reissue VOS is a semi-hollow electric guitar with a 3-ply maple/poplar/maple body, solid maple centerblock, and a SlimTaper ’60s C neck. Two unpotted Custombucker Alnico III humbuckers feed a three-way Switchcraft selector, with separate CTS 500K volume and tone controls for each pickup. Its 22-fret Indian rosewood fingerboard, ABR-1 bridge, lightweight aluminum stopbar, and VOS nitrocellulose finish all follow the model’s period-oriented specification. A Black/Yellow Custom Shop hardshell case is included.
