Offered here is a stunning Made 2 Measure 1961 ES-335 reissue from the Gibson Custom Shop, finished in a sleek and uncommon Charcoal Metallic. Built to historically accurate ’61 specs and elevated with Custom Shop precision, this semi-hollow is the perfect blend of vintage tone, feel, and modern refinement.
This M2M ’61 ES-335 captures everything players love about Gibson’s golden-era semi-hollows. The lightweight 3-ply maple/poplar/maple body delivers outstanding resonance and airy warmth, while the slim ’61 Skinny C neck profile offers fast, effortless playability.
Plugged in, the unpotted Custombucker pickups (Alnico III) produce rich, articulate tones with classic PAF character—warm, woody, and incredibly dynamic. From smooth jazz and blues to gritty rock, this guitar responds beautifully to every nuance of your playing.
Built using hide glue construction for enhanced resonance and long-term stability, this reissue also features period-correct details throughout—including a historically accurate truss rod assembly (no tubing), lightweight aluminum hardware, and vintage-spec electronics. Premium components like CTS 500K potentiometers and paper-in-oil capacitors ensure an authentic signal path, delivering that unmistakable early-’60s ES-335 tone.
Visually, the Vintage Original Spec (VOS) finish provides a lightly aged patina, with a softly dulled nitrocellulose sheen that feels broken-in and comfortable right out of the case.
Key Features:
7.8 lbs – lightweight and resonant
3-ply Maple/Poplar/Maple semi-hollow body
Solid Mahogany neck with ’61 Skinny C profile

Custombucker Alnico III unpotted humbuckers
ABR-1 bridge with lightweight aluminum stopbar

Between the unique Charcoal Metallic finish, premium M2M build, and spot-on vintage specs, this ES-335 stands out from the crowd. It delivers the look, feel, and tone of an original ’61—without the six-figure price tag.
