{"product_id":"epiphone-1959-es-355-cherry-red","title":"Epiphone 1959 ES-355 Incl. Hard Case Cherry Red","description":"Drawing on the expertise of Gibson’s Custom Shop and its extensive knowledge of exquisite, vintage-inspired electric guitars, Epiphone has created a truly special semi-hollowbody guitar based on the 1959 Gibson ES-355. The body is made from laminated maple and poplar to give the ES-355 its tone a pronounced vintage character. The vintage-voiced CustomBucker pickups are supplied by Gibson USA and deliver an open, organic, and authentic ’50s Gibson tone that complements the body’s sound. The design is finished with a vintage finish, gold-plated Custom Shop hardware, and a period-correct “long” pickguard.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMaple has been the preferred wood for semi-hollowbody guitars for decades. On the 1959 ES-355, Epiphone uses a body made from laminated maple and poplar to achieve a responsive, resonant body that pairs perfectly with a dirty tube amp. The 1959 ES-355’s mahogany neck is shaped after a ’50s Gibson profile and fitted with an ebony fretboard to give the 1959 ES-355 a more luxurious feel. The neck is further enhanced by a long tenon that extends into the body, giving the guitar more sustain and tone.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEvery component of the 1959 ES-355’s electronics has been carefully selected to precise vintage specifications. Finding genuine vintage PAF pickups is, of course, virtually impossible—but this ES-355 features two unpotted Gibson CustomBucker pickups, the most faithful replacement Epiphone can offer. The CustomBucker is the most historically accurate PAF clone Gibson has ever made, with an open tone and incredibly dynamic response that simply has to be heard. Epiphone has also added premium electronics, including a Switchcraft jack, CTS potentiometers, and Mallory capacitors.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEpiphone has upgraded the ES-355 model’s body, fretboard, and headstock with the help of Gibson’s Custom Shop. Each part is framed by black and ivory-colored binding; the fretboard and headstock feature “Custom” block inlays, and the pickguard is framed and built to the specifications Gibson preferred back in ’59. It also features control knobs with old-fashioned nickel pointers, Grover tuners, and a gold-plated vintage bridge from Gibson’s Custom Shop.","brand":"Epiphone","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53757778362706,"sku":"EPIP-EC35559CHVGH1","price":10199.0,"currency_code":"DKK","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1069\/9256\/6610\/files\/Epiphone-1959-ES-355-Cherry-Red.webp?v=1781549195","url":"https:\/\/akustikken.dk\/en\/products\/epiphone-1959-es-355-cherry-red","provider":"Akustikken","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
