the shine of 1969’s Woodstock Festival

One of the enduring images of 1969’s Woodstock Festival is of Alvin Lee blasting out the solo section of “Going Home” on his 1959 ES-335 (which Lee nicknamed Big Red). When he cranked out the scorching solo to “Going Home” at Woodstock, his iconic axe became preserved for all time on celluloid. The Custom Shop has lovingly recreated Big Red, including the stickers and artwork found on the body of the original, the added third pickup, custom pickguard, and the replacement ‘60s block inlay neck. The Gibson Custom Shop Alvin Lee Big Red ES-335 Guitar is here in the flesh, reproduced with utmost precision right down to the cool stickers and faded cherry finish.

the most-versatile guitar ever built

With its solid maple center block, arched top, f-holes, and chambered wings, the Gibson 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue Guitar gave the player the resonance of a solidbody and the refined looks of a traditional Gibson archtop with the reduced weight of a thinline. In mid-1962, the ES-335 was changed to include the thinner neck profile that was standard for Gibson in the ‘60s as well as small block inlays on the fingerboard. The Gibson Custom Shop 1959 ES-335 Dot Reissue Guitar follows the vintage specs of the ’59 model with its rounded neck and dot markers that would change to a thinner profile and block inlays in 1962. With its beautiful tone and versatility the ES-335 still remain the classic favorite of guitarists across all music genres.

still one of the all-time classic guitar designs!

The Custom Shop offers a plain top and satin lacquer finish that make the all-time classic Gibson Custom Shop ES-335 Satin Finish Guitar more available to dedicated players like you. The ES-335 brought hollowbody tradition and solidbody performance together in 1958, and it is still one of the all-time classic guitar designs. ’57 Classic humbuckers translate the body’s natural resonance into haunting jazz tones or searing distorted leads. 60s slim taper neck profile is very fast and comfortable while bound top and back, vintage tulip tuners, nickel hardware, and pearloid dot inlays add up to fantastic visual appeal.

the finest, most-versatile guitar ever built

The precision Gibson Custom Shop 1963 ES-335 Historic Block Reissue Electric Guitar is identical in every way to the original. With its solid maple center block, arched top, f-holes, and chambered wings, the ES-335 (introduced in 1958) gave the player the resonance of a solidbody and the refined looks of a traditional Gibson archtop with the reduced weight of a thinline. In mid-1962, the ES-335 was changed to include the thinner neck profile that was standard for Gibson in the ‘60s as well as small block inlays on the fingerboard.

Today’s Gibson finishes bear the same classic status as Gibson’s guitar models, paying tribute to Gibson’s historic past while setting new standards for the future. The dusky Cremona brown sunburst, introduced on the top-of-the-line Style 5 models in 1922, has evolved into today’s Vintage Sunburst. The deep cherry stain and cherry sunburst finishes that turned heads in the ’50s live on as Heritage Cherry and Heritage Cherry Sunburst. The warm aura of a vintage guitar is embodied in an Antique Natural or Honey Burst finish. New models continue to add new finishes to the Gibson tradition.

The new solidbody guitar of the ’60s, the Gibson SG guitar, broke through traditional concepts of solid body electric guitars and became an instant classic. This body style has remained in production and has been screaming since its first appearance in 1961. These musical instruments have represented the combination of looks, functionality and value that is the hallmark of the SG series. 1961 was the year that Gibson changed the Les Paul Custom body style into a sharply pointed double-cutaway. This radical new design featured a thinner, bolder shape and was given the name SG for solid guitar.
