Gibson 61 ES-335 Reissue VOS 60s Cherry - Used

A Vintage-Correct Semi-Hollow With Iconic 60s Tone & Feel

This Gibson ’61 ES-335 Reissue VOS recreates the magic of the earliest dot-neck ES-335s—lively resonance, fast playability, and rich semi-hollow warmth. Finished in 60s Cherry with Gibson’s Vintage Original Spec (VOS) treatment, it offers the look and feel of a well-preserved vintage instrument while delivering modern build consistency.

This example is used and in excellent condition, freshly set up in-store by our luthier, and plays beautifully with comfortable action, spot-on intonation, and the lively acoustic response the ES-335 is famous for.

Authentic Early-60s ES-335 Tone

• Airy resonance with tight low end and vocal midrange

• Classic bite and clarity from historically wound humbuckers

• Semi-hollow design adds warmth, bloom, and natural sustain

• Works beautifully for blues, jazz, soul, classic rock, and modern indie styles

Vintage Original Spec (VOS) Finish

Gibson’s VOS treatment gives the guitar a lightly aged sheen—subtle patina, softened gloss, and the feel of a naturally played-in 60s instrument without heavy relicing.
