Gibson / ES355 Reissue Stop Bar VOS Ebony / 1959 / Guitar

The ES-355 was developed in 1958 to combine the sustain and feedback of a solid body guitar with the comfort and weight of the hollow bodies, and was the centerpiece of the Electric Spanish series. This model has been and continues to feature opulent pearl 'Block' inlays in the ebony fretboard, 'Split Diamond' inlays in the headstock and gold hardware, which sets her apart from her understated sisters. The 1959 ES-355 was normally equipped with a Bigsby and stereo electronics with the well-known Variotone switch. However, this Reissue takes on the rare version with a stop bar or stop tail and mono electronics, which in the end, many players prefer. This 1959 ES355 Stop Bar also features the expected recipe of a center-block laminated maple/poplar body, a mahogany neck with an 'Authentic '59 Medium' C-shape, and an ebony fingerboard, with long tenon neck joint and Hide Glue construction. Gibson's Custombucker pickups deliver classic PAF tones that are warm, rich and dynamic, with plenty of clarity, making them very versatile. These pickups are arguably Gibson's most accurate P.A.F. replicas. The 'Ebony VOS' finish together with the gold hardware gives a luxurious look, with a nice faded look and matching patina.

ABOUT US

I have always been opposed to being trapped into a job eight hours a day to purchase the free time to do what I enjoy. That’s why i started the Fellowship of Acoustics. The fellowship of acoustics was founded by Rudi Bults, Guitarist and obsessed with tone and wood. The idea was offering real expertise when trading and selling the finest instruments in the world from our showroom in Bergentheim, Netherlands. Helping others find the right tools and enjoying an atmosphere that’s unhurried, honest and informative that’s my go. We are nothing like the "supermarket" style music stores, but specialize in string-things only. We are widely known for Flattop guitars but also sell electric, mandolins & banjo’s, amps, parts, and accessories. Our store has earned the reputation for being a great place to shop for the best products and service.
It is our hope that this new website - much more than a list of "gear" for sale - will serve as an example of our commitment to offering a more personal approach, a friendly atmosphere, and an ultimately more satisfying experience for our friends and customers.
If you have any questions just dial +31-523-232205 or e-mail info@thefellowshipofacoustics.com My name is Rudi Bults, and I’m always here to help out. Wherever possible, we would recommend that you visit our store and experience our instruments and service first hand. However, because of our high standards you can be confident of ordering online from us. We hope you enjoy your visit to our site, and welcome your feedback.
