How To Build A Do-It-Yourself(DIY Kit) '59 Gibson ES-335
I used an ES-335 "style" DIY kit for this build. What makes this a 1959 style ES-335 is the hardware. I did not use any of the hardware included in the kit. Instead, I ordered a set of nickel Duncan SH-1 Vintage Blues Pickups and an ES-335 50's Wiring Harness for the potentiometers. This gave it that 50's blues sound I was looking for. Unfortunately, the company no longer makes this kit due to its similarities to Gibson's ES-335.
NOTE : I installed the neck pickup mount backwards, I annotated where I made this mistake. It was corrected soon after. I know the finish needs improvements. I used limited clear coats with the intention of refinishing the guitar later on. I annotated such in the title sequence of the video. I suggest using more clear coat than I did, followed by a longer wet sand. Your finish will turn out even smoother. I will be posting a refinish video of the guitar in the future.
Other than that, the guitar turned out great! Most importantly, It sounds amazing! I have played a Gibson ES-335 TD 1959 (aka $20K+ guitar), and they sound incredibly similar. For a build that was under $700, I was incredibly happy with how it turned out. The intonation is spot on, and it hasn't warped since the build about two years ago. I love it!
