For players who want to capture the magic of a legendary semi-hollow in both tone and looks, this Gibson Custom Shop 1959 ES-355 Reissue in Cobra Burst delivers timeless style and professional performance. Inspired by a guitar seen in the hands of Gary Clark Jr. at the New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Festival, this made-to-measure build pays homage to an iconic sound and aesthetic. Starting with the same foundational design as the ES-335—featuring feedback-resistant semi-hollow construction, dual humbuckers with full control sets, and exceptional playability—the ES-355 elevates every detail. A solid ebony fingerboard with 1950s-style mother of pearl block inlays and 22 medium-jumbo frets offers a smooth and responsive feel, while a split-diamond headstock inlay and multi-ply binding add a high-end visual appeal. Nickel hardware, Grover tuners, and a Bigsby tailpiece complete the classic look. From its long tenon neck joint and hide-glue fit to its unpotted Custombuckers, this ES-355 reissue is a masterful recreation of one of Gibson’s most sought-after vintage models. Includes a five-latch Lifton Custom Shop hardshell case and certificate of authenticity. Available now at Haggerty’s Music.
