Classic ES construction with custom appointments

Ever since the introduction of the famous ES-335, Gibson has relied on particularly resonant maple/poplar laminate for the construction of its semi-hollow guitars. The body and the arched top of the Epiphone 1959 ES-355, which is fitted with F-holes, have a five-ply design and are finished with multi-ply Bindings on the front and back. Of course, a resonant mahogany neck with a classic '50s Rounded Medium C neck profile and the 22-fret ebony fingerboard with block inlays should not be missing in order to skillfully recreate the unique playing feel of the late fifties model.

Gibson Custombucker Pickups & Premium Electrics

As part of the Inspired by Gibson Custom collection, the Epiphone 1959 ES-355 features two genuine custom bucker pickups from the Gibson USA facility. The humbuckers, which are actually reserved for custom store instruments from Nashville , are considered to be extremely successful P.A.F. replicas that capture the sound of the Golden Era like no other pickup set. The underlying wiring is hand-wired and relies on genuine Mallory capacitors for authentic treble roll-offs, high-quality CTS potentiometers and a Switchcraft USA output socket for crystal-clear and reliable signal transmission.
