However, true Gibson enthusiasts — including many of us here at Sweetwater — will undoubtedly flock to the meticulously appointed second-decade features of the Gibson ES-335 60s. Structured with that legendary double-cut, thinline 3-ply body of maple-poplar-maple and internally treated with a solid maple center block, this ES-335 delivers an instantly recognizable feel and vintage-inspired sound. Fitted with an era-appropriate SlimTaper mahogany neck, the ES-335 '60s offers quick, incredibly smooth control. Tonally, Gibson's T-Type humbuckers give the ES-335 60s its voice, delivering that quintessential late-'60s blend of sonic balance and crystalline articulation. Supplementing its vintage shape and sonics are a multitude of visual touches perfectly emblematic of the decade's offerings, such as small block inlays, \"milk bottle\"-style Rotomatic tuners, black Top Hat knobs with pointers and silver reflectors, and that instantly identifiable short pickguard. For Gibson '60s purists and first-timers to the ES-335 alike, the ES-335 60s delivers the sound and style that cemented the original as an American icon.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStreamlined SlimTaper neck profile\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIntroduced for the early-’60s models, the Gibson SlimTaper neck profile offered a sleeker, speedier feel when compared to the '50s Chunky profiles. For true-to-form accuracy, you’ll find that same carve on the mahogany neck of the ES-335 60s. Topped with a beautiful bound rosewood fingerboard, 22 medium-jumbo frets, and a Graph Tech nut for a purified string response, you'll soon discover that from rhythm work to lead lines, the ES-335 60s radiates period-correct comfort and exquisite navigation for all players.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAn homage to the original T-Tops\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe ES-335 60s’ addition of T-Type humbuckers is a modern take on the beloved T-Top pickups featured in select Gibson models from 1966 to 1979. Noted by a raised “T” on top of the bobbin, the T-Top pickups enhance overall consistency and provide a brighter, clearer tone than original PAFs. The T-Type humbuckers honor the original T-Top design, complete with polysol wire, Alnico V magnets, and balanced, unpotted coils. The result? A vintage-correct tone that Sweetwater's Gibson aficionados champion for its crisp highs, smooth mids, and tight low-end response. Furthermore, handwired 500K potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors accompany each pickup’s Volume and Tone control for authentic late-'60s voicing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eStyled to the ’60s standard\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eFor retro-inspired '60s flair, start at the fingerboard and headstock, where small block inlays and supremely stable “milk bottle”-style Grover Rotomatic tuning machines enhance the aesthetic and elevate the playability of this mid-century-inspired model. The ’60s influence continues down at the body with black Top Hat knobs with silver reflectors and dial pointers, a period-correct shortened 5-ply pickguard, and an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and stopbar tailpiece. An assortment of iconic ’60s Gibson gloss nitrocellulose finishes, mother-of-pearl inlays, and cream binding give this guitar a proper vintage glow.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eGibson ES-335 60s Features:\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA model that pays homage to the 2nd decade of the ES-335\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThinline maple-poplar-maple semi-hollow design with solid maple center block to improve sustain and combat amplified feedback\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSet mahogany neck with SlimTaper profile offers players a sleek, streamlined feel, reminiscent of Gibson’s early-’60s ES-335s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e22-fret rosewood fingerboard with medium-jumbo frets and Graph Tech nut promises flawless playability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eT-Type pickups replicate the bright and punchy tone of Gibson’s historic T-Top humbuckers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-way selector and per-pickup Volume and Tone controls, with handwired 500K pots and Orange Drop caps, offer powerful tone shaping\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e’60s energy abounds with small block inlays, “milk bottle”-style tuners, black Top Hats, and a short pickguard\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGibson-classic elements include ABR-1 TOM bridge with aluminum stopbar, MOP headstock inlays, and single-ply cream binding\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAvailable in a selection of iconic '60s Gibson gloss nitro finishes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProudly built by Gibson in the USA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Gibson","offers":[{"title":"Cherry","offer_id":43202244313163,"sku":"ES35600SCNH-1","price":2449.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dark Walnut","offer_id":43202244345931,"sku":"ES35600SCNH-2","price":2449.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"Vintage Burst","offer_id":43202244378699,"sku":"ES35600SCNH-3","price":2449.3,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0684\/3328\/1099\/files\/126d1d2abbc5ca5e8094a6633b122968.png?v=1789571439","url":"https:\/\/hobuppro.myshopify.com\/products\/gibson-es-335-60s-semi-hollowbody-electric-guitar-cherry","provider":"Hobuppro","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
