Overview

Correct to the original in every detail.

Although the ES-335 kicked off with the "dot neck" in 1958, many players have always preferred the "block neck" version of the early '60s. The beautifully re-created 1963 ES-335 includes the correct body shape with narrower horns and rolled fingerboard binding for a soft playing feel. Includes hardshell case.

Hot hide glue: Historic body and neck construction
