This model captures the unmistakable elegance of Gibson’s top of the line semi hollowbody from the early 1960s, blending upscale appointments with a voice that remains one of the most versatile in electric guitar history. With its figured maple top laminate and meticulous Light Aging performed by the Murphy Lab, it offers the character, feel, and vibe of a treasured original from the first Gibson Golden Age.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eConstructed from a layered combination of figured maple, poplar, and maple, the body is bound in multi-ply trim on both the top and back, projecting the upscale identity that set the ES 355 apart when it debuted. Its semi-hollow design utilizes a solid maple centerblock that enhances sustain and reduces feedback, especially at higher stage volumes. Finished in Light Aged nitrocellulose lacquer, every checking line and softened surface detail reflects the nuanced hand-applied work of the Murphy Lab, contributing to an unmistakably authentic vintage vibe.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe one-piece mahogany neck is carved to the slim, Authentic 1961 profile—a fast, articulate shape long favored by many players. The long neck tenon increases stability and resonance, while the ebony fretboard delivers a smooth, even response under the fingers. Adorned with mother-of-pearl block inlays and single ply binding, it brings together premium materials and period correct details. Reissue medium jumbo frets and a 12 inch fretboard radius make for effortless bends, controlled vibrato, and a consistent playing feel across the entire 24.75 inch scale length.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA matched pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups provides the expressive tonal range expected of a vintage reissue ES 355. Warm, open, and dynamic, they reveal the airiness of the semi-hollow body while retaining the focus and punch needed for articulate lead work. The traditional control layout, with individual volume and tone controls and a three-way toggle switch, provides familiar tools for shaping tones ranging from delicate cleans to rich, harmonically complex overdrive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGold hardware, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge, nickel pickup covers, black plastics, and True Historic black Top Hat knobs with dial pointers complete the period-accurate aesthetic. The mother-of-pearl Gibson logo, bound headstock, and Custom split diamond headstock inlay underscore its top-of-the-line status within the Gibson Custom lineup. Each guitar includes a Certificate of Authenticity and a Lifton™ reissue hardshell case.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHighlights\u003cbr\u003e3-ply figured maple\/poplar\/maple body with solid maple centerblock\u003cbr\u003eMurphy Lab light aged\u003cbr\u003eAuthentic 1961 neck profile\u003cbr\u003eCustombucker Alnico 3 pickups\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGuitar Specifications\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBody Specs\u003cbr\u003eBinding Multi-ply top and back\u003cbr\u003eBody Finish Light Aged nitrocellulose lacquer\u003cbr\u003eBody Material Figured maple\/poplar\/maple\u003cbr\u003eBody Shape ES-335\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNeck Specs\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Material Ebony\u003cbr\u003eFingerboard Radius 12 in. | 304.8 mm\u003cbr\u003eFret Count 22\u003cbr\u003eFrets Reissue Medium Jumbo\u003cbr\u003eInlays Block\u003cbr\u003eJoint Long neck tenon\u003cbr\u003eNeck Material Mahogany\u003cbr\u003eNut Material Nylon\u003cbr\u003eProfile Authentic 1961\u003cbr\u003eScale Length 628.65mm \/ 24.75in\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics Specs\u003cbr\u003eBridge Pickup Custombucker Alnico 3\u003cbr\u003eControls 2 volume, 2 tone\u003cbr\u003eNeck Pickup Custombucker Alnico 3\u003cbr\u003eOutput Jack 1\/4\"\u003cbr\u003ePickup Selector 3-way toggle\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHardware Specs\u003cbr\u003eBridge ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic\u003cbr\u003eControl Knobs Black Top Hats\u003cbr\u003eFinish Gold\u003cbr\u003ePickup Covers Gold\u003cbr\u003ePlastic Parts Black\u003cbr\u003eTailpiece Stop Bar\u003cbr\u003eTuning Machines Grover Rotomatic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMisc Specs\u003cbr\u003eAccessories Certificate of Authenticity Booklet, Historic Reissue Hang Tags\u003cbr\u003eModel: 60ES35526LE23272\u003cbr\u003eCase Custom Shop Hardshell\u003cbr\u003eStrings Gauge .010, .013, .017, .026, .036, .046\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46147701964847,"sku":"A960523","price":8999.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/2875\/9855\/files\/DSC_0707_c15f8f84-ded5-4ec7-b3ac-0a22484abdaf.jpg?v=1788900247","url":"https:\/\/fullersguitar.com\/products\/gibson-custom-le-1960-es-355-reissue-with-figured-maple-antique-blonde-light-aged","provider":"Fuller's Guitar","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
