Built with a layered figured maple/poplar/maple body and solid maple centerblock, this semi-hollow electric guitar delivers warm resonance with enhanced sustain and feedback resistance. A slim Authentic 1961 mahogany neck pairs with an ebony fingerboard and mother-of-pearl block inlays for a fast, elegant playing experience, while dual Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups capture the airy bloom and dynamic response associated with early-'60s humbuckers. Finished in Light Aged nitrocellulose lacquer by the Gibson Murphy Lab and accented with gold hardware, this 1960 ES-355 reissue blends upscale appointments, expressive tone and Custom Shop craftsmanship. Figured Maple Construction With Semi-Hollow Resonance The layered figured maple/poplar/maple body delivers the open, responsive character that defines Gibson's semi-hollow design. A solid maple centerblock enhances sustain and clarity while helping reduce feedback at higher volumes. Multi-ply binding adds visual elegance, while the figured maple top veneer enhances the instrument's premium aesthetic. Together, these elements create a tone that balances warmth, articulation and dynamic response. Custombucker Pickups for Vintage-Inspired Tone Dual Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups recreate the clarity, warmth and harmonic complexity associated with early-1960s humbuckers. Their dynamic response highlights the semi-hollow construction, offering articulate cleans and expressive overdrive. Traditional two volume and two tone controls with a three-way toggle allow players to shape tones ranging from smooth jazz textures to rich blues and rock leads. Authentic 1961 Neck With Ebony Fingerboard The one-piece mahogany neck features the slim Authentic 1961 profile, offering a fast, comfortable feel. An ebony fingerboard with mother-of-pearl block inlays provides a smooth playing surface, while reissue medium jumbo frets and a 12" radius support fluid bends and controlled vibrato. A long neck tenon enhances resonance and stability for a responsive playing experience. Gold Hardware and Premium Appointments Gold hardware reinforces the ES-355's upscale heritage, including an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece for stable intonation and sustain. Grover Rotomatic tuners provide dependable tuning stability, while black plastics and black Top Hat knobs complete the period-correct aesthetic. Lastly, the bound headstock with split-diamond inlay highlights the model's top-tier status within the ES lineup. A Limited-Edition Semi-Hollow From Gibson Custom Available in Sixties Cherry and Antique Blonde, the Gibson Custom 1960 ES-355 Reissue delivers refined craftsmanship, expressive tone and vintage- inspired elegance. With premium materials, historic accuracy and limited production, this ES-355 reissue stands as a compelling choice for players and collectors seeking one of Gibson's most sophisticated semi-hollow designs.
