Authentic sixties sound

Epiphone 1962 ES-335 Reissue Vintage Burst

The Epiphone 1962 ES-335 Reissue Vinatge Burst is a faithful reproduction of a legendary guitar that helped define the sound of modern music: Developed in collaboration with Gibson Custom, this model is based on the 1962 ES-335 - a version not currently offered as a reissue by Gibson itself. Classic design elements like rounded cutaways, small block inlays, and a slim neck profile capture the unmistakable sixties vibe, while the combination of a laminated maple/poplar body, solid maple centre block, and high-quality components embody the ideal blend of vintage tone and modern playability. Driving its signature tone are two hand-wired Gibson Custombucker pickups, delivering that classic PAF tone with rich clarity, warmth, and an exceptional dynamic response.

Playability meets vintage tone

The Epiphone 1962 ES-335 Reissue Vintage Burst offers everything expected from a premium semi-hollow guitar. Its solid maple centre block provides excellent sustain and projection while keeping feedback in check, and the one-piece mahogany neck features a Slim Taper C-profile that sits comfortably in the player's fretting hand and lets them move around the fingerboard effortlessly without needing to worry about fatigue. The guitar's rosewood fingerboard - with medium-jumbo frets and rolled edges - additionally provides a comfortably worn-in feel straight away. The classic combination of an ABR-1 Tune-o-Matic bridge and lightweight aluminium stopbar tailpiece ensures rock-solid tuning stability and excellent resonance, while the traditional control layout with dual volume and tone knobs, CTS pots, and premium paper-in-oil capacitors lets players easily dial in whatever vintage tone they desire.

Built for vintage enthusiasts and professionals

The Epiphone 1962 ES-335 Reissue Vintage Burst is tailor made for players who crave that authentic vintage vibe without sacrificing reliability. Whether in the studio, on stage, or at home, it's a perfect fit for both seasoned professionals and passionate vintage fans. With its classic Vintage Burst finish, premium-grade machine heads, Graph Tech nut, and a high-quality vintage-style case, this reissue represents a compelling alternative to the significantly more expensive Gibson counterpart - all the more so since it comes equipped with the same Gibson Custom Shop pickups found in Gibson's top-tier Custom models (one of the key factors behind its higher price point, but also the reason for its exceptional sound quality).

About Epiphone

Today, Epiphone is known only as the Asian budget offshoot of Gibson. Yet both companies were once independent, equal, and also bitter rivals. The roots of Epiphone go back to the 1870s and to Anastasios Stathopoulo, a Greek instrument maker, who emigrated to America in 1903 with his son Epaminondas (“Epi” for short). Epi changed the name of the firm to the "Epiphone Banjo Company" after taking over the family business in 1928. During this year, Epiphone also began to manufacture guitars, which rapidly came to dominate their sales. In 1957, Epiphone was taken over by C.M.I., which already included Gibson, but continued as a separate brand until 1970, when manufacturing was outsourced to Asia. Well-known Epiphone models include the Casino, played by the Beatles, and the Sheraton, John Lee Hooker's instrument of choice.

For Blues, Rock and much more

The Epiphone 1962 ES-335 Reissue Vintage Burst delivers the legendary versatility that made the ES-335 a go-to for generations of artists - from Rock pioneers like Chuck Berry to modern icons like John Mayer - and this reissue captures the iconic tone while maintaining boutique-level quality. Paired with a tube amp, it will shine with its warm, articulate tones, punchy overdrive, and smooth, expressive lead sounds. Thanks to its duo of Gibson USA Custombuckers, the Epiphone 1962 ES-335 Reissue Vintage Burst delivers the rich depth and balanced response the ES-335 is famous for - making it a perfect fit for Jazz, Soul, Funk, Indie, and beyond.

In the spotlight

Custombuckers with AlNiCo-3 magnets

A true standout feature of the Epiphone 1962 Reissue Vinatge Burst is its pair of Gibson USA Custombuckers. These hand-wired humbuckers are widely regarded as the most accurate recreations of the legendary PAF pickups, typically found only in Gibson's top-tier Custom Shop models. They deliver the signature airy, organic tone of the early '60s, with a shimmering treble response, a tight and well-defined low end, and a smooth, slightly compressed response. When paired with a dynamic tube amp, these pickups reveal their full potential, amplifying the guitar's warm tonal character with exceptional clarity and virtually no signal loss.

Hut ab zuerst an Thomann, Versand dauerte genau 2 Tage und die Gitarre war nach dem Öffnen bundrein eingestellt und die Saitenlage war super. Es ist zusammengefasst die beste ES-335 die ich seit langem gespielt habe, sie hat tatsächlich eine nahezu gleiche Qualität wie meine echte 64er Gibson ES. Auch der Lack ist matt und nicht glossy, Hals ist schmal, also man kann gut mit dem Daumen spielen. Die Humbucker sind sehr kräftig und laut - muss man mögen. Insgesamt eine perfekte Gitarre.
