Epiphone Inspired by Gibson 1959 ES-355 Classic White
A recreation of the top of the line ES model from the Inspired by Gibson collection! This is the new Epiphone 1959 ES-355 in Classic White with gold hardware, a reissue of the luxurious model released by Gibson in 1959 down to all of its dimensions, contours and neck profile. The 1959 ES-355 features a 5-ply layered maple/poplar body with a solid maple centerblock for sustain and feedback resistance, a one-piece mahogany neck with a 50s Rounded Medium C profile, and an ebony fretboard that is adorned with block mother of pearl inlays. The Gibson-style “open book” headstock features the Split Diamond and Epiphone logo inlays in mother-of-pearl, along with gold Grover® Rotomatic® tuners and the Inspired by Gibson double diamond logo etched on the back. The 1959 ES-355 is powered by a pair of Gibson Custombuckers that are hand-wired to CTS® potentiometers, Mallory™ capacitors, and a Switchcraft® pickup selector switch and output jack. Each 1959 ES-355 includes a brown and pink hardshell case.
