This is the Custom Shop 1959 ES-335 DOT Reissue VOS Limited Edition. Not to be confused with other ’59 Reissues, this is one of 250 Limited Edition sunbursts ever made with the VOS treatment from Gibson. VOS guitars have a aged look and feel thanks to the satin finish, brushed pickup covers and bridge, etc It looks it’s reissue ‘age’ of 50+ years old, but of course is in mint condition. This guitar was actually made in the same molds as the original ’59 was. This is the finest reissue version of the 1959 ES-335 you will find. The MSRP on this model is $5649. From the Gibson webpage: This limited production model from Gibson Custom captures this desirable classic in greater detail than any ‘reissue’-style guitar previously produced. It is truly an instrument born in the image of its inspiration. Starting with the traditional plain laminated maple top, back and sides, with single-ply creme binding on both the top and back, the 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue is true to the original’s ’59 specs in almost every detail. Its one-piece, 24-1/2″ inch scale length mahogany neck features a long tenon, a 22-fret Madagascar rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays and a rounded ’59 neck profile. In addition to its period-correct look, the 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue recreates the legendary tone of the original model by utilizing a pair of Gibson’s renowned ’57 Classic humbucking pickups, which is the closest thing to original ‘PAF’ pickups on the market today. High-quality CTS volume and tone potentiometers with ‘bumble bee’ capacitors offer a fundamental electronics package, thus insuring the guitar’s unique tone is captured and delivered with the utmost accuracy and originality. Other traditional appointments include vintage tulip tuners, a holly headstock veneer and all nickel hardware, including an ABR-1 bridge and lightweight aluminum stopbar tailpiece. This 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue in Antique Vintage Sunburst comes with a custom shop reissue case, certificate of authenticity and is strictly limited to just 250 guitars per finish.
