This Gibson ES-335 Big Block Retro 2018 in Rose nitro lacquer finish isn’t your typical ES-335. Inspired by the rebellious spirit of 1950s American car culture, this guitar embodies individuality, mirroring the customization seen in automobiles of that era.

The Gibson ES-335 Big Block Retro amalgamates distinctive elements borrowed from various legendary Gibson ES models. Its 3-ply maple body showcases vintage slim taper horns and multi-ply ES-345 binding, while the dark rosewood fretboard on a Mahogany neck boasts ES-355 style mother of pearl full block inlays. The culmination? A guitar that commands undivided attention.

The original brown hard shell case, ‘Case Made in Canada’ is included. The case contains the Certificate of Authenticity and QC checklist, which is dated 11/27/17, indicating that the guitar was deemed complete on November 27 2017 as a 2018 model. The back of the head is stamped with the serial number, Made in USA, and 2018; the interior label also has ‘2018’ printed on each of the lower corners.
