Description

From Gibson:

Beginning in 1960, Gibson looked to slim down the chunky round neck profile on the revolutionary ES-335 of the 1950's.  In 1961, the ES-335 featured a thinner flatter neck that players immediately appreciated for having a comfortable feel and fast action.  The 1961 ES-335 is a historically accurate recreation of the ES-335 that combined 1950's looks with 1960's playability.  The "mouse ear" body shape, rounded 60's Slim Taper neck profile, and dark rosewood fingerboard with pearloid dot inlays, ensure that there is no mistaking this guitar's lineage.
