For 2020 Gibson released a new 1964 ES-335 as made famous by Eric Clapton. This model features pointy horns than earlier versions, which were also seen on the previously made Memphis 63 ES-335.
Now, there are not a ton of pictures out there and in watching several NAMM videos the Gibson CS says they scanned some original guitars, specifically naming the 59 etc to match horn contours and neck shapes. They don't explicitly say they retooled the 64 shapes.
Anybody know that if the new 1964 has re-designed ear shapes that are more accurate than the previous 63 version? Im basically deciding between the two and would prefer the most accurate body shape. I am not too picky for neck size so if that is the only main difference i would opt for the cheaper 63 model.
I apologize not sure if this should be in other guitar section or Gibson custom
Thanks!
