The folks at the Custom Shop have done it again! No, they haven't unlocked the secrets to time travel, but they did the next best thing. 

This VOS ES-335 is just a time machine short of traveling back to when LBJ was in office. The luthiers at the Custom Shop have studied numerous examples and dialed this Historic Reissue down to the most minute detail, as if you're picking one up fresh off the bench back in '64.

Classic appointments only, please! Maple/poplar/maple 3-ply body, mahogany slim tape C-profile neck (0.873"-0.96"), Indian rosewood 12" radius fretboard, 1.687" nut width, nylon nut, nylon saddles, all topped off with a gorgeous VOS nitro finish. And it comes loaded up with a sweet pair of Custombucker Alnico III pickups.

This particular one has a "demo" stamp on the back of the headstock, but don't let that deter you. There's nothing wrong with this baby. This was likely a prototype of the '64 Reissue that the Demo Shop allowed a few lucky players to try out a few times.

This guitar has been lightly used, and we mean LIGHTLY. It is CLEAN. It shows minimal signs of playwear, and plays like a dream thanks to the expert setup from our in-house luthiers here at EMS. We'll ship it to you super fast and super safe in its original hardshell case.

Feel free to give us a call with any questions you may have about it!
