Why this one made the wall

The ES-335 60s delivers the refined features of early-1960s era ES-335 models. The ES-335 60s features a semi-hollow, thinline body crafted from three-ply maple, poplar, and maple, with a solid maple centerblock that increases sustain while also greatly reducing feedback. For a touch of added style, the body has single-ply cream binding around the top and back.

Like those early 60s ES-335 models, the mahogany neck sports a SlimTaper™ profile. The bound rosewood fretboard is equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets and adorned with small block acrylic inlays, mirroring the look of the 60s era ES-335 models. The headstock is equipped with high-quality Grover® Rotomatic® tuners with milk bottle buttons, which, in partnership with the Graph Tech® nut, help to keep the tuning rock solid. The headstock is also adorned with a mother-of-pearl Gibson logo and crown inlay.

The other ends of the strings pass over an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and anchor to an aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece. They add to the guitar’s excellent sustain while allowing for comprehensive adjustment of action height and individual string intonation.

The ES-335 60s is powered by a pair of calibrated T-Type humbucker™ pickups with Alnico 5 magnets. These pickups are renowned for delivering iconic Gibson T-Top humbucker™ tones. Each is paired with individual hand-wired 500k volume and tone controls, which, along with a three-way pickup selector toggle switch, provide the wide range of tonal versatility for which the ES-335 is famous.

A 60s-style, five-ply pickguard and black Top Hat knobs with reflectors and dial pointers complete the 60s vintage-inspired look. Available in your choice of Vintage Burst, Sixties Cherry, and Dark Walnut gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finishes, a Gibson hardshell case completes the package. This is the ES-335 for you if you prefer the slimmer neck profile and cosmetics of those 60s-era ES-335 models that players have loved for over 60 years.

Frequently asked

Questions we get

Do I pay duty or brokerage on a US order?

No. Duty, taxes, brokerage and customs on a US order are handled at our end before the instrument leaves Ottawa. It arrives at your door with nothing to pay.

Orders going anywhere outside Canada and the United States work differently. The shipping and returns policy sets out which is which.

What does the free setup cover?

Every instrument crosses Ian Vance's bench before it ships, and on an online order that setup is free.

What it covers depends on what the guitar needs. Frets, fretboard, hardware, fresh strings, truss rod, action, nut slots, intonation, pickup height and electronics are all part of it, and none of it is an upcharge. The menu above shows the choices you get to make.

Ian's work is described on Repairs and tuning.

What if it is not right when it arrives?

You have 48 hours from the moment it arrives to decide. Email shop@lauzonmusic.com inside that window and we will authorize the return. Nothing comes back unauthorized.

Exchange it for something else and there is no restocking fee, though you cover the shipping on the instrument going back. On a straight refund it is 10% plus the actual shipping both ways.

The full terms are on Shipping and returns.

Can I pay for it over time?

Canadian buyers can pay over time with PayPlan by RBC, chosen as the payment method at checkout. The exact terms come from RBC and are shown to you before you agree to anything.
