Each guitar is hand-built with uncompromising attention to detail, using time-honored techniques and the finest tonewoods to capture the spirit of Gibson’s golden era. Whether it’s a faithful Historic Reissue, a bold Modern Collection piece, or a one-of-a-kind Masterbuilt creation, every Custom Shop guitar offers that unmistakable Gibson feel and sound—rich, resonant, and endlessly expressive. At Chicago Music Exchange, we’re proud to offer one of the world’s premier selections of Gibson Custom Shop guitars, expertly curated for players and collectors who demand nothing less than perfection.
The Historic Reissue ES-335 is back and better than ever thanks to a year of studying, scanning, and listening to original examples. The expert craftspeople at Gibson Custom Shop have rendered every contour, profile, inlay and color of the priceless vintage models in magnificent detail. The result is a playing and ownership experience that will keep you coming back for more. The 1964 Reissue models utilize sharp horn cutaways, medium C-shape neck profiles scanned from originals, small block inlays and vintage-replica parts.
