Mooloolaba Music is excited to introduce the Gibson ES-335 60s model, an exceptional guitar designed for musicians who crave a combination of versatility with modern craftsmanship, all while drawing inspiration from the classic specifications of the iconic guitars of the 1960s.

The ES-335 60s captures the essence of the early 1960s ES-335 models with its thoughtfully designed features. Its semi-hollow, thinline body showcases a rich construction of three-ply maple, poplar, and maple, complemented by a solid maple centerblock that enhances sustain while significantly minimizing feedback. To elevate its aesthetic appeal, the body is elegantly framed with single-ply cream binding along both the top and back.

In keeping with the style of the early 1960s models, the mahogany neck is crafted with a SlimTaper profile, offering a slimmer and faster-playing experience in contrast to the more robust Rounded C profile found on the ES-335 50s. The neck integrates a bound rosewood fretboard, featuring 22 medium jumbo frets embellished with small block acrylic inlays, resonating with the traditional look of its 60s predecessors. At the headstock, high-quality Grover Rotomatic tuners with distinctive milk bottle buttons work in tandem with the Graph Tech nut, ensuring impeccable tuning stability. The headstock is topped off with an elegant mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and a crown inlay.

At the bridge end, the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge paired with an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece not only enhances sustain but also allows for precise adjustments in action height and individual string intonation, giving players the flexibility to achieve their ideal setup.

The sonic heart of the ES-335 60s lies in its dual calibrated T-Type humbucker pickups featuring Alnico 5 magnets. These renowned pickups are celebrated for producing the classic Gibson T-Top humbucker tones. Each pickup is accompanied by individually hand-wired 500k volume and tone controls. Together with a three-way pickup selector toggle switch, this setup affords the broad tonal versatility that the ES-335 has long been acclaimed for.

To complete the vintage-inspired aesthetic, a 60s-style five-ply pickguard and black Top Hat knobs featuring reflectors and dial pointers further enhance the instrument's classic look. Available finishes include Vintage Burst, Sixties Cherry, and Dark Walnut, all wrapped in a gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. The package is rounded out with a Gibson hardshell case, making this the ideal ES-335 for those who appreciate the slimmer neck profile and classic cosmetics reminiscent of the beloved 60s-era models that musicians have cherished for over six decades.
