The Korena take
Gibson Custom’s right-handed 1959 ES-335 Reissue pairs a three-ply maple/poplar/maple semi-hollow body with a solid maple centerblock, a solid mahogany Medium C neck, and an Indian rosewood fingerboard. Two unpotted Custombucker Alnico 3 humbuckers feed a handwired control circuit with independent volume and tone controls. Murphy Lab Ultra Heavy Aging extends across the finish and hardware, while the included aged brown-and-pink Lifton hardshell case handles transport and storage.
