Features The glued-in quarter-sawn mahogany neck with long tenon has a one-piece rosewood fingerboard with a 12" radius and a width of 1 11/16" at the nut, along with the classic 24.75" Gibson scale length. A period-correct hardware set that includes an aMR-1 Tune-o-matic bridge and lightweight aluminum stopbar tailpiece completes the '59 specs, and adds to the 1959 ES-335 sonic bite through a pair of Custom Bucker pickups. Made with Alnico III magnets and unequal turns of 42 AWG wire in each of the 2 coils, like the legendary Gibson PAF Humbuckers, the Custom Bucker offers that legendary blend of warmth, depth, and bite found in the most desirable vintage humbucking pickups. Description Product Description The ES-335's design and construction, revolutionary for its day, gave it a "best of both worlds" appeal that suited it to any imaginable genre of music, from jazz to rock, blues to country. The 1959 ES-335 Dot Reussie accurately retains the original construction, with the solid maple center block for superb sustain and resistance to feedback, and arched laminated maple top, back, and sides for added hollow body-like warmth.
