Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Finished in Vintage Burst, the 1964 ES-335 Reissue VOS combines a 3-ply maple/poplar/maple semi-hollow body with a solid maple centerblock. The SlimTaper ’60s C neck carries an Indian rosewood fingerboard with 22 frets. Neck and bridge positions each use an unpotted Custombucker Alnico III, selected with a three-way Switchcraft switch and shaped through independent CTS 500K volume and tone controls. An ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminum stopbar complete the hardware, and a Black/Yellow Custom Shop hardshell case is included.
