Brand new Custom Shop Epiphone 1959 ES-355 (Incl. Hard Case)
In partnership with Gibson™ Custom, Epiphone is proud to release the 1959 ES-355, a
stunning recreation of the preeminent ES™ model from the legendary class of 1959. It’s
the top-of-the-line ES model in all its glory, from the dimensions to the contours to the
precise inlay patterns and sonic experience. The 1959 ES-355 features a 5-ply layered
maple/poplar body with a solid maple centerblock for sustain and feedback resistance,
a one-piece mahogany neck with a 50s Rounded Medium C profile, and an ebony
fretboard that is adorned with block mother of pearl inlays. The Gibson-style “open
book” headstock features the Split Diamond and Epiphone logo inlays in
mother-of-pearl, along with gold Grover® Rotomatic® tuners and the Inspired by
Gibson double diamond logo etched on the back. The 1959 ES-355 is powered by a
pair of Gibson Custombuckers that are hand-wired to CTS® potentiometers, Mallory™
capacitors, and a Switchcraft® pickup selector switch and output jack. A brown and pink
hardshell case with the Inspired by Gibson Custom logo is also included.
