Gibson Custom Shop Limited Edition 1960 ES-355 Reissue with Figured Maple Light Aged Sixties Cherry #A960732

The Gibson Custom Shop Limited Edition 1960 ES-355 Reissue in Figured Maple Light Aged Sixties Cherry is an elegant recreation of Gibson’s most luxurious semi-hollowbody designs. Its figured maple, poplar, and maple body construction showcases beautifully defined wood grain beneath a Light Aged nitrocellulose lacquer finish in classic Sixties Cherry. Multi-ply top and back binding, gold hardware, and gold pickup covers create a sophisticated appearance, while black appointments provide a striking contrast. Weighing 8 lbs. 7 oz., this instrument combines vintage-inspired elegance with the distinctive resonance and presence of a finely crafted semi-hollowbody guitar.

The mahogany neck features an Authentic 1961 profile and a long neck tenon, providing a comfortable, historically inspired playing experience. Its ebony fingerboard is appointed with elegant block inlays, 22 reissue medium-jumbo frets, and a 12-inch radius. A nylon nut and 24.75-inch scale length complete the familiar Gibson feel, offering smooth playability and expressive response. Every detail reflects the Custom Shop’s dedication to historic accuracy and refined craftsmanship.

A pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups delivers warm, articulate tones with rich harmonic detail and expressive sustain. Independent volume and tone controls for each pickup, paired with a three-way toggle selector, provide versatile tonal shaping for everything from smooth jazz and blues to sophisticated rock tones. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide a dependable foundation, while Grover Rotomatic tuning machines, black Top Hat control knobs, and gold hardware complete the instrument’s distinctive appointments.

Identified by part number 60ES35526LE23273, this Limited Edition ES-355 Reissue includes a Gibson Custom Shop hardshell case, Certificate of Authenticity booklet, and historic reissue hang tags. With its figured maple construction, ebony fingerboard, Custombucker pickups, and beautifully aged Sixties Cherry finish, it offers a compelling combination of vintage character and luxurious detailing. Elegant in appearance and expressive in voice, this ES-355 celebrates a celebrated chapter in Gibson’s history with exceptional craftsmanship and timeless musical appeal.
