Explanation
"I want to get my hands on an ES-335—the quintessential semi-hollow body guitar—but if I’m going to own one, I want a no-compromise instrument that will last a lifetime." "I’m looking for a partner that delivers a superior tone that won’t get lost in the mix during live performances or recording sessions, and that will take my playing to the next level." Among the many reissue models available, it’s no easy task to find one with a truly authentic sound.
Since its debut in 1958, the ES-335 has helped countless legendary players create historic performances.However, due to the delicate structure of a semi-hollow body, the depth of the sound can vary as much as heaven and earth depending on the quality of materials and the precision of craftsmanship. A model that merely mimics the shape will never achieve that tone—the perfect fusion of the power of a solid-body guitar and the warmth of an acoustic—played by the likes of Eric Clapton and Larry Carlton.
A masterpiece crafted by Gibson’s finest artisans, who spared no expense or time: the 2010 Historic Collection 1963 ES-335. Built by the renowned Nashville Custom Shop, this instrument embodies the highest standards in both sound and materials, offering a premium specification that sets it apart.
A faithful reproduction of the legendary original from 1963. It faithfully recreates every iconic detail from that era—such as the elegant block position markers and the sleek short pickguard—that continue to captivate die-hard fans.
The rich, full-bodied tone and abundant sustain unique to semi-acoustic guitars. A solid center block is built into the center of the body. While incorporating the rich, warm harmonics of an acoustic guitar, it creates a tight vibration system that rivals that of a solid-body guitar, delivering beautiful sustain that seems to go on forever.
An overwhelming response that makes you feel like you’ve actually improved. Carefully selected premium woods and the Custom Shop’s meticulous craftsmanship ensure that every nuance and variation in your picking is translated 100% into sound. On stage or in demanding recording sessions, it will surprise you with the feeling that “maybe I’ve actually gotten better at playing,” boasting exceptional playability that fully unleashes your potential.
The Historic Collection is highly regarded in the market and continues to mature with age. This overwhelming quality, made possible by an era where time and cost were lavishly invested, makes this instrument the perfect choice for professionals seriously committed to the stage and for discerning guitarists seeking a lifelong companion.
It elevates the phrases flowing from your fingertips to an unprecedented, sublime tone. Experience firsthand the authentic spirit of 1963 that the Nashville Custom Shop has so earnestly sought to capture.
