Personal Thoughts:
The Murphy Lab 1959 ES-335 Reissue in Ultra Light Aged Ebony is a stunning vintage-inspired piece that delivers iconic tone and style. The laminate body with center block offers the perfect blend of resonance and sustain, while the '59 Rounded "C" neck profile feels comfortable and substantial in hand. The Custombuckers capture that classic PAF tone, delivering warm lows, smooth mids, and clear, rounded highs. Ben admires the detailed Ultra Light Aged finish, which provides a subtle vintage charm without overdoing the wear, making it ideal for players who want a classic look with modern reliability.
