In partnership with Gibson™ Custom, Epiphone is proud to release the EPIPHONE Inspired By Gibson Custom Collection 1959 ES-355 (EC35559CWVGH1) semi-hollow body electric guitar, 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.
