{"product_id":"gibson-es-335-60s-era-semi-hollow-vintage-burst","title":"Gibson ES-335 60s Era Semi-Hollow - Vintage Burst","description":"\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eIf the ES-335 50's is the original deep-space vessel — broad-shouldered, substantial, built for maximum tonal gravity — then the ES-335 60's is what happened when the engineers got back to the drawing board and asked how to make it fly faster. Same fundamental spacecraft architecture: three-ply Maple\/Poplar\/Maple semi-hollow body, solid maple centerblock keeping feedback at bay while sustain launches into orbit, single-ply cream binding tracing every curve with classic elegance. But the 60's model evolves the design in ways that changed the ES-335's mission profile entirely. The SlimTaper mahogany neck is the most immediate difference under the hand — thinner, faster, and more immediately responsive than the Rounded C on the 50's model, built for players whose technique demands speed without sacrificing the warmth that mahogany always delivers. Small block acrylic inlays on the cream-bound rosewood fingerboard mark the visual transition from the earliest dot-neck examples to the sleeker, more sophisticated cosmetics of the early 1960s — the configuration that graced the ES-335s of the Clapton era and beyond. Grover Rotomatic tuners with milk bottle buttons lock the tuning down with mechanical authority, and the Vintage Sunburst gloss nitrocellulose finish — cherry darkening to amber, amber opening into the warm glow of maple at the center — is arguably the most iconic color the 335 has ever worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"font-claude-response-body break-words whitespace-normal leading-[1.7]\"\u003eThe T-Type humbuckers with Alnico 5 magnets are where the 60's model stakes its own tonal claim, separate and distinct from the Custombucker PAF recreation in the 50's. The T-Top is its own legend — a Gibson humbucker design with a brighter, more articulate character and a snap and presence that players have sought out in vintage instruments for decades. Alnico 5 magnets push the output and clarity with a little more focus and edge than the warmer Alnico 3, making the 60's model a sharper, more defined voice in the ES-335 family without losing any of the warmth and complexity that makes the format legendary. Hand-wired 500K pots and Orange Drop capacitors ensure the signal path is as pure as the day it left the shop, and the individual volume and tone controls per pickup with 3-Way Switchcraft selector give total command over the tonal universe at all times. The short 60's-style five-ply black pickguard, Black Top Hat knobs with silver inserts, and Amber Catalin switch tip round out a vintage specification that is decisively, confidently of its era. At 8 lbs. 8 oz., this ES-335 60's in Vintage Sunburst is ready to warp.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"UTF-8\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eModel: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003eUSA ES-335 60's\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBody Construction:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Semi-Hollow\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 3-Ply Maple\/Poplar\/Maple\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCenterblock:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Solid Maple\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Finish:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Gloss Nitrocellulose \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Single-Ply Cream\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNeck:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Mahogany\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Rosewood\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFingerboard Inlay\/Headstock Inlay:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Small Block \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNut:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Graph Tech, 1.7\"\" \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Profile:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e SlimTaper\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Joint:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Long Tenon\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrets:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Medium-Jumbo 22 \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTruss Rod:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Fully Adjustable\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRadius:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 12\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFingerboard Binding:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Cream, Single Ply \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eScale Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 24.75\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e T-Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNeck Pickup:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e T-Type\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControls:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 2 Volume, 2 Tone, Hand-wired with 500K potentiometers and Orange Drop Capacitors\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickup Selector:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 3-Way Switchcraft\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eOutpuck Jack:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 1\/4\" Switchcraft\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBridge:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTailpiece:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Aluminum Stop Bar\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHardware Color:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Nickel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePickup Covers:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  Nickel \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStrap Buttons:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Nickel\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSwitchwasher:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e None\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePickguard:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 60's Black 5-Ply (Short)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTruss Rod Cover: \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Stepped 2-Ply \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSwitch Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Amber Catalin \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTuning Machines:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Grover Milk Bottle \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMounting Rings:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e  Black\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eControl Knobs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Black Top Hats with Silver Inserts\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCase:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Hardshell\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eString Gauge:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan\u003e .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccessories:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Gibson Accessory Kit \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 7lbs 12oz.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52419325362360,"sku":"ES35600VBNH1","price":3499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0888\/2795\/3336\/files\/Gibson205660213_001availableatInterStellarGuitars_8e9d6f57-5001-408c-bf77-9b95194b872f.jpg?v=1778686963","url":"https:\/\/www.interstellarguitars.com\/products\/gibson-es-335-60s-era-semi-hollow-vintage-burst","provider":"Interstellar Guitars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
