The semi-hollow thinline body uses Gibson's classic 3-ply maple\/poplar\/maple construction around a solid maple centerblock, delivering the sustain and feedback resistance of a solidbody with the airy resonance and openness of a true hollowbody. Finished in gloss nitrocellulose lacquer with single-ply cream binding around the top and back, it weighs in at 8.42 lbs., showing off the natural maple grain beautifully in this finish.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe mahogany neck carries a Rounded \"C\" profile (.850\" at the 1st fret, .955\" at the 12th) — a substantial, vintage-spec carve that fills the hand more than a modern slim neck — set into the body and topped with a bound rosewood fretboard, mother-of-pearl dot inlays true to the original dot-neck look, and a 12\" radius across 22 medium jumbo frets and the classic 24.75\" Gibson scale length. A 1.705\" GraphTech nut pairs with Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons for genuinely stable tuning, and the headstock carries a mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and crown inlay for a vintage touch. An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge with an aluminum stopbar tailpiece delivers excellent sustain with full adjustability over action and intonation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eElectronics come from a matched pair of Custombucker humbuckers with Alnico 3 magnets — pickups specifically voiced to recreate the tonal character of the original late-'50s Patent Applied For humbuckers — wired to individual 500k volume and tone controls per pickup and a 3-way toggle selector, delivering the wide tonal range the ES-335 is known for, from warm jazz cleans to biting rock overdrive. A '59-style black pickguard and gold Top Hat knobs with dial pointers complete the period-correct look. Whether you're a player who's always preferred the bigger, beefier neck feel of the earliest ES-335s, a tone-chaser drawn to the Custombucker\/Alnico 3 pairing's vintage PAF character, or a collector building out a proper dot-neck-era semi-hollow, this ES-335 50s delivers the real early spec. This Gibson ES-335 50s Vintage Natural includes a Gibson hardshell case.
