The Gibson Custom 1964 ES-335 Reissue VOS semi-hollow electric guitar provides a look and sound straight from the 1960s. Gibson's expert craftspeople studied original examples of the 1964 ES-335 to recreate every contour and detail.

The result is an instrument that looks, feels and sounds like an actual ES-335 from 1964.

Authentic Vintage Specifications

Gibson Custom Shop crafted the 1964 ES-335 Reissue VOS to match the design of original 1960s models down to the smallest details. The hand-carved maple body, mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard provide the same balanced tone and playing feel as vintage ES-335s. Nickel-plated hardware, vintage-style tuners and a Tune-O-Matic bridge with stop tailpiece complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic. From its striking Sixties Cherry finish to the mother-of-pearl block inlays, this guitar looks like it came straight out of 1964.

Rounded '60s Neck Profile

The 1964 ES-335 Reissue VOS features a rounded mahogany neck based on actual 1960s profiles with a medium C shape. This comfortable, familiar neck shape allows fast, fluid playing across all 22 frets. The rosewood fingerboard adds warmth and resonance, while small block inlays provide an unmistakably vintage style. Whether you play blues, rock or jazz, the neck on this guitar makes soloing and chording feel effortless.

Semi-Hollowbody With F-Holes

The handcrafted maple body of the 1964 ES-335 Reissue VOS creates the same balanced tone found on original 1960s models. F-holes allow the body to resonate freely, producing a blend of solidbody punch and hollow-body warmth. P.A.F.-style '57 Classic pickups in the neck and bridge capture the clarity and articulation of vintage Gibson tones. From crunchy rock leads to smooth jazz lines, the semi-hollowbody and dual humbuckers of this guitar deliver a range of classic sounds.

Vintage-Accurate MHS II Humbuckers

The 1964 Reissue ES-335 VOS is equipped with MHS II humbucking pickups that provide the legendary P.A.F. tone that defined the ES-335.

With balanced output and clarity, these pickups capture the ES-335's coveted vintage tone.
