Description
Gibson Custom Dealer Select 1961 ES-335 - Silver Ebony with Black Stinger
There are guitars that simply get the job done, and then there are instruments that stop you in your tracks. This Gibson Custom Dealer Select 1961 ES-335 is undeniably the latter. Dressed in a rare and absolutely striking Silver Ebony finish, this isn't your grandfather's sunburst (though it respects the heritage). The visual impact is elevated even further by the "Black Stinger" on the back of the headstock—a classic, high-end Gibson appointment that screams custom shop exclusivity. Underneath that stunning gloss nitrocellulose lacquer lies the time-tested 3-ply maple and poplar body construction, delivering that airy, woody resonance that has defined the sound of rock, blues, and jazz for over six decades.
When you plug this beast in, you are greeted by the legendary growl of a pair of Gibson '57 Classic Humbuckers. These pickups are designed to capture the magic of the original P.A.F.s, offering creamy lows, biting highs, and a midrange that cuts through any mix. Whether you are chasing the creamy "Woman Tone" of Eric Clapton in his Cream era or the chucking rhythms of Chuck Berry, this axe delivers. The neck features an Authentic '61 Thin D profile, which is perfect for players who want a faster, slimmer feel than the chunky necks of the 50s, allowing for effortless chording and lightning-fast leads up and down the rosewood fingerboard.
