The solid maple centreblock adds focus and stability while dramatically reducing unwanted feedback, making the guitar suitable for higher-gain settings as well as clean, dynamic playing. This balanced construction gives the ES-335 its famously versatile voice, capable of moving effortlessly between jazz, blues, classic rock, indie, and modern alternative styles. Finished with gloss nitrocellulose lacquer, the guitar captures the understated elegance and vintage appeal associated with the finest early-'60s ES-335 models.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eClassic T-Type humbucker tone\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ES-335 60s is fitted with a pair of calibrated Gibson T-Type humbuckers loaded with Alnico 5 magnets. Inspired by the iconic T-Top pickups found in vintage Gibson guitars, these pickups deliver a balanced tonal response with clear highs, focused mids, and warm low-end character. The bridge pickup provides punchy attack and crisp articulation ideal for cutting rhythm tones and expressive lead work, while the neck pickup offers smooth warmth and singing sustain. Hand-wired controls paired with a traditional three-way toggle switch provide outstanding tonal flexibility, allowing players to move seamlessly between sparkling cleans, bluesy crunch, and rich classic rock overdrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFast and comfortable playability\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUnlike the chunkier necks found on earlier '50s-inspired models, the ES-335 60s features Gibson’s SlimTaper mahogany neck profile for a quicker, more modern feel. It sits comfortably in the hand and allows effortless movement across the fretboard. The bound rosewood fretboard adds smoothness and refinement, while the 12-inch radius and medium jumbo frets offer excellent balance between comfortable chord playing and fast, expressive leads. Small block acrylic inlays reinforce the authentic early-'60s appearance while maintaining the clean and elegant look that defined this era of ES-335 design.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eVintage-inspired Gibson hardware\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePremium hardware ensures the ES-335 60s performs beautifully. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece maximise sustain and tuning precision while allowing accurate intonation adjustment. Grover Rotomatic tuners with distinctive milk bottle buttons provide dependable tuning stability and smooth operation, working alongside the Graph Tech nut to minimise friction during bends and aggressive playing. The vintage-inspired black five-ply pickguard and black Top Hat knobs with silver inserts complete the classic early-'60s aesthetic. Supplied with a Gibson hardshell case and accessory kit, the ES-335 60s is ready for professional performance straight away.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57213726228858,"sku":"ES356007WNH1","price":2999.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0244\/0329\/files\/ES-335Walnut-10.jpg?v=1788364606","url":"https:\/\/www.musicstreet.co.uk\/products\/gibson-es335-60s-dark-walnut","provider":"MusicStreet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
