The Big Review: Gibson’s new made-in-Nashville ES models

guitar.com

Gibson's 1959 ES-335 Ultra Light Aged shines as a modern interpretation of a classic, boasting exquisite craftsmanship and a dynamic playability that captures the vintage essence. However, while it excels in tonal depth and sustain, some may find its high price tag a barrier. Comparatively, the Original Collection models impress with their quality and aesthetics, though they may lack the nuanced character of their Custom Shop counterpart. Overall, these guitars embody Gibson's resurgence in craftsmanship, making them solid choices for both vintage enthusiasts and modern players alike.
