The Gibson ES335 Fat Neck puts a great new twist on the original. The Gibson Fat Neck features the chunkier neck dimensions of the 1959 ES-335, as well as the longer pickguard and slightly thinner body of the original ’59. The centerblock construction is also period-correct lightweight maple, making this guitar a true joy to play.
