A Legendary Collaboration: Guitar Center and Gibson Reveal Rare ES-335 '60s Block Guitars in Striking New Finishes

Limited-edition Vintage Burst and Ebony models of the popular ES-335 are available exclusively through Guitar Center

Westlake Village, CA (June 12, 2025) — Guitar Center has teamed up with legendary guitar maker Gibson to launch an exclusive edition of one of rock’s most iconic instruments — the Gibson ES-335 ’60s Block — now available in Vintage Burst and Ebony finishes for the first time ever, only at Guitar Center stores and online. This limited-edition release recreates the legendary ES-335 from the golden era of rock ‘n’ roll with era-correct styling, premium components, and modern craftsmanship. It’s everything players love about the original — with a sleek, exclusive twist.

With its semi-hollow-body design, dual cutaways, and roaring T-Type humbuckers, the ES-335 ’60s Block delivers the warm, rich tone and dynamic bite that have defined classic blues, jazz, and rock for generations. Whether you're tracking in the studio or lighting up the stage, this guitar is built to inspire.

“We’re thrilled to partner with Gibson on these exclusive ES-335 models,” said Brad Johnson, Senior Director of Electric Guitar, Amps and Effects Merchandising at Guitar Center. “The Vintage Burst and Ebony finishes are absolutely stunning, and the craftsmanship speaks directly to serious musicians who demand tone, playability, and quality all in one instrument. We’re proud to help bring this guitar to life and can’t wait for players to fall in love with it all over again.”

Features include:

  • Eye-catching Vintage Burst and Ebony finishes — available only through Guitar Center
  • Fast-playing SlimTaper neck profile
  • Acrylic small block inlays and vintage “top hat” knobs for that unmistakable ‘60s vibe
  • Calibrated T-Type humbuckers for vintage tone with modern clarity
  • Hand-wired CTS pots and Orange Drop capacitors for exceptional signal integrity
  • Classic ABR-1 bridge and vintage-style tuners for rock-solid reliability
