It’s an undisputed classic, and some of the best came from Gibson’s factory in Kalamazoo, MI. The Gibson Memphis Historic Series '59 ES-335 honors some of the finest semi-hollow jazz boxes to ever come off the Kalamazoo line, and looks just as fresh as it did that day in ’59 with a spliced 3-ply maple\/poplar\/maple body with quarter-sawn Adirondack spruce bracing and lightweight maple centerblock for excellent sustain and resonance with minimal feedback, handwired Memphis Historic Series humbucking pickups specially calibrated for the perfect vintage-inspired tone, Memphis Tone Control Historic circuitry, rounded late-‘50s neck, and a period-correct high-gloss lacquer finish with nickel hardware, imparting the true spirit of Kalamazoo inside and out. \u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eAbout Gibson Memphis:\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLuthier Orville Gibson founded the Gibson Mandolin-Guitar Mfg.
