New Gibson 1958 ES-335 Limited Edition ES-335 demo
This is a new model made in limited quantities to celebrate Gibson's 130th year and is a recreation of a very early 1958 ES-335.
The very early models featured Gibson's new fangled Humbuckers as standard and an unbound fingerboard which soon became bound later in the year. It was a new concept for Gibson and the brainchild of Ted McCarty - a hollow body look from the front but thin in depth and with a solid block of maple running the length of the guitar. This cut down the resonances that would cause uncontrollable feedback when a purchaser turned his amplifier up; as guitarists are known to do funnily enough.
Gibson are doing 130 of each colour: tri-burst, tobacco sunburst and blonde and it looks like the blondes have sold out already. I was lucky to get this one and I'm playing it through a Two Rock Classic Reverb with guest star, my 1974 Norlin era 335 as contrast.
These guitars have achieved iconic status and Gibson has chosen it to represent their 130th birthday.
The aging is spot on and I would be hard pressed to tell this apart from a real one. Except of course for the price!
It isn't cheap but as my 1974 cost me an Ibanez Blazer plus £495 back in the early 1980's, it better be good.
Luckily it is fantastic. The attention to detail in the heavy relic finish on this tobacco sunburst is amazing but it's the sound of those unpotted custombuckers and the feel of the guitar that win the day for me.
I have recorded this with 2 microphones: an SM57 and Rode NT1-A into a Presonus Studio 68C with no compression, added reverb or any post processing at all - just the sound of the guitars into a Two Rock Classic Reverb just as I heard it in the room.
All items bought by me and no sponsorship or funny stuff.
