Gibson Custom / 1964 ES-335 Reissue VOS Candy Apple Blue w/Bigsby [S/N 131288]

Candy Apple Blue and Bigsby on ES-335
A limited model that uses Candy Apple Blue and Bigsby based on the Custom Shop 64 ES-335!

This is a cool limited model that is based on the ``64 ES-335'' and uses Bigsby in the rare candy apple blue color for the block position mark!

The cutaway shape that determines the immediate impression is the sharp cutaway horn type of the 1964 type. In addition, the maple center block that determines the sound has only the 1st string side cut out, which is one of the reasons for the light sound. Compared to the 1959 type solid one, it has an exquisite air feel and overtones that make it really cool when strummed wildly. In addition, the candy apple blue color, which is the most distinctive feature, is a nice color that can look like ``purple?! black?!'' depending on the angle and the way the light hits it. The coloring, which has not been seen often in the past, is sure to stand out. In addition, it has a simple decoration typical of the 335, giving the impression of a sophisticated man's tool.

The neck shape is ``Authentic '64 Medium C-Shape'' based on scan data from a vintage instrument, and the overall type is clean. It has a few quirks and should be accepted by many players.

The PU is equipped with the famous "Custom Bucker Alnico III". With its tight low range and smooth high range, it's great for riff plays, and has a surprisingly hard driving sound with a quick response that doesn't feel sluggish, and is one of the best that has the one element that has determined the high reputation of the history collection since 2013. It can also be called a choice. In addition, Black Beauty is used for the capacitor, and its majestic appearance can be glimpsed through the F hole.

The B7 Bigsby also has a big impact on both looks and sound. While many players are wondering, ``Should I install it or what should I do?'' Bigsby players are happy that it is installed from the factory. Of course, there is no stop tailpiece anchor, etc., and the sophisticated "Born to be Bigsby" look is irresistible. Of course, it also affects the sound, with a relatively gentle tension and metallic ringing, creating a glittering overtone. It features an edgy sound that stop tailpiece fans cannot enjoy.

The basic structure is the latest specification. It uses a tubeless truss rod, which has a particularly good reputation, and achieves high rigidity, response, and sound, and has been upgraded in terms of sound compared to models before 2012.

The sound is equipped with a Bigsby, which gives it a unique sense of tension and a metallic rumble, making it a perfect match with the drive sound. If you plug it into a crunch Marshall type, it will make a pleasant jingling sound. If you hold it up to the light, it will turn purple, if you tilt it a little, it will turn ultramarine, and if you place it in a low position and look down, it will look black, making it a gem that reveals various faces. Not only does it have a great sound, but it also has an eye-catching look that will definitely make you stand out in your band! It's a limited edition model, so get yours as soon as possible!
