“The Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1961 ES-335 Reissue is a historically accurate semi-hollowbody that looks and sounds like it was made over 60 years ago. To build the guitar, Gibson spent an entire year examining original examples. They chemically re-created plastics and reverse-engineered lacquer formulas, nailing down every last detail. With Heavy aging by the Murphy Lab, the Custom Shop 1961 ES-335 is a dead ringer for a vintage instrument. Available now from Guitar Center, it would be a welcome addition to anyone’s collection. Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1961 ES-335 Main Features3-ply maple/poplar/maple body with Heavy agingMahogany neck with authentic ’61 Skinny C-shape, Indian rosewood fretboardDual alnico III CustomBuckers (unpotted), 3-way switchABR-1 tune-o-matic bridge, aluminum stopbar tailpiece, Kluson single line, single ring tuners’61 ES-335 ConstructionWhen Gibson President Ted McCarty cooked up the ES-335, his goal was to make an acoustic-looking guitar that sounded like a solidbody. The 3-ply maple/poplar/maple construction is lightweight like an acoustic; a solid maple center block reduces feedback, but doesn’t eliminate it. Use that as an opportunity to harness the feedback musically, like famed Gibson players Freddie King, Alvin Lee and Alex Lifeson. Chunky, Vintage-Style NeckThe solid mahogany neck has an authentic ’61 Skinny C-shape—a faster profile than the ’59 model. The long tenon joint is set with period-correct hide glue. Medium jumbo frets facilitate big bends on the Indian rosewood fretboard. The fretboard binding is extra rolled with smooth edges for a softer feel. Authentic ElectronicsWhen the ES-335 was first released, Gibson said the PAF pickup was””essential for clear, sparkling, sustaining tone.”” These Alnico III CustomBuckers capture the exact same magic. Unpotted, they’re topped with authentic profile nickel silver covers. The hand-wired harness uses CTS 500K pots and paper-in-oil capacitors. Timeless HardwareAll of the hardware on the ’61 ES-335 reissue matches original specs, from the ABR-1 tune-o-matic bridge and the aluminum stop bar tailpiece to the Kluson single line, single-ring tuners. Heavy Aged FinishMaster Artisan Tom Murphy was instrumental in the creation of Gibson Custom Shop. For the last 25 years, he’s replicated the look of vintage guitars on new instruments. The Murphy Lab puts this guitar through his Heavy aging process, simulating a half century of life on the road. That means plenty of buckle rash, plus light arm, neck and peghead wear. The lacquer checking patterns stick out prominently (and beautifully); the hardware is heavily-aged to match. The Gibson Custom Murphy Lab 1961 ES-335 Reissue comes with a certificate of authenticity and a brown/pink Lifton reissue 5-latch case.
