Epiphone 1959 ES-355: Vintage Style, Modern Playability
The Epiphone 1959 ES-355 is a faithful recreation of one of the most iconic guitars in history. Built with a semi-hollow 5-ply maple and poplar body and a solid maple center block, the Epiphone ES-355 combines warm, woody resonance with impressive sustain and feedback resistance. Its one-piece mahogany neck, rounded '50s profile, and ebony fingerboard provide a smooth, comfortable playing experience. Modeled after the legendary 1959 original, this Epiphone '355 is perfect for players seeking vintage tone and aesthetic with modern reliability.
Vintage-Inspired Construction
The Epiphone 1959 ES-355 captures the look and feel of the classic guitar it's based on. Its aged Vintage Original Sheen (VOS) lacquer finish gives the body a worn, vintage-style appearance, while the multi-ply binding adds elegance reminiscent of late 1950s designs. The semi-hollowbody construction with a solid maple center block reduces feedback while enhancing sustain, creating a perfect balance of resonance and focus. Whether on stage or in the studio, this guitar delivers timeless tone and style.
Iconic Gibson Headstock and Hardware
The split-diamond headstock design on the Epiphone 1959 ES-355 pays homage to Gibson's classic aesthetic. Gold Grover Rotomatic tuners ensure precise, stable tuning, while the Graph Tech nut and ABR-1 bridge with a stopbar tailpiece add to its vintage authenticity. These components are crafted to provide excellent intonation, tuning stability, and period-correct appeal. This attention to detail makes the ES-355 a standout for players and collectors alike.
Ebony Fingerboard With Block Inlays
The Epiphone ES-355 features a one-piece mahogany neck with a rounded '50s profile, designed for comfortable playability. Its ebony fingerboard adds warmth and articulation to the tone, while the mother-of-pearl block inlays lend a touch of elegance. The 22 medium-jumbo frets and 12-inch radius make the fingerboard smooth and easy to navigate, whether you're playing intricate solos or strumming chords.
Handwired Pickups for Classic Tone
The Epiphone 1959 ES-355 is equipped with Gibson Custom humbuckers, handwired to CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors. The neck pickup produces warm, rounded tones ideal for jazz and blues, while the bridge pickup delivers bright, cutting treble and solid lows perfect for rock and lead work. Combined, these pickups offer a wide range of vintage-inspired tones, making the guitar versatile for multiple genres.
