Our Take:
Take everything that made the ES-335 such an insane guitar, and bling it out: that's what you've got in the new Gibson 1959 ES-355 Reissues. This ES-355 utilizes the same feedback-resistant semi-hollowbody construction and two-humbucker design, and outfits it with a sleek ebony fretboard adorned with '50s pattern mother-of-pearl block inlays, multi-ply binding, gold hardware...do you need any more convincing that this is a top-shelf guitar? With undeniable style, unbelievable blues rock tones, and a hardshell Lifton case to protect it, there's no better semi-hollowbody option than this 355.
Gibson's Take:
What could be better than the legendary ES-335? The ES-355! The ES-355 starts with all the features that make the ES-335 iconic - the feedback-resistant semi-hollowbody construction, the two humbucking pickups with individual volume and tone controls, the legendary sonic versatility and exceptional playability - and kicks it into overdrive with an ebony fretboard that's adorned with 50s pattern mother of pearl block inlays and 22 authentic medium jumbo frets. A split diamond headstock inlay, multi-ply binding, and gold hardware further reinforce the fact that the ES-355 is the top of the line ES™ model. This expertly crafted Custom Shop rendition's attention to detail makes it an outstanding recreation of the legendary and highly-prized 1959 ES-355. A five latch Lifton™ case is also included.
