Epiphone - 1962 ES-335 Reissue Vintage Burst + Etui
The Epiphone 1962 ES-335 Reissue Vintage Burst electric half-body guitar combines the elegance of a legendary model with a design that's as much for the stage as for the living room. The semi-hollow design of the 5-ply maple/poplar body, the solid maple centre block and the '60s SlimTaper C-profile neck all come together to create fluid playability and perfectly controlled resonance. With its Gibson Custombucker pickups, Tune-O-Matic bridge and faithfully reproduced period details, this ES-335 reinvents 1962 without a time machine, but with a healthy dose of character.
Presentation
With its solid mahogany neck and SlimTaper C profile, this ES-335 Reissue from Epiphone is all about comfort and fluidity. The kind of neck that makes you forget you've been playing a solo for 20 minutes. The rosewood fingerboard, beautifully hemmed with mother-of-pearl block markings, adds that little warmth that doesn't say its name but makes all the difference. Even the edges are rounded, so you don't lose a duel to a misplaced fret. In short, everything is designed to make your fingers want to come back again and again.
And let's talk about the look. With its glossy Vintage Burst finish, black pickguard and cream binding highlighting every curve, this Epiphone 1962 ES-335 Reissue doesn't need to stand out to be noticed. The open book-style headstock and aged mother-of-pearl logo inlay are discreet reminders that you're not dealing with a common imitation. Even the Keystone mechanics are vintage, but they turn straight as if on parade.

To find out more...
Tip: if you play with fuzz or overdrive pedals, this ES-335 is particularly cooperative. The maple centre block prevents overdrive, and the Custombuckers let your effects breathe without drowning them out.
Bonus: it fits neatly into an Epiphone ES-335 case... but it comes with a hard case anyway.
