A real dazzler of a semi-hollow, the Gibson ES-335 is a model that has been wowing players for generations on end. Its 1958 introduction set the ES-335 as an unmatched standard for sound and build quality. From rock to blues to jazz and everything in between, the ES-335 is an icon among icons. Today's ES-335 comes together with a suite of fine specifications ready for anything.

The classic Gibson Electric Spanish body of this model is constructed from three-ply maple/poplar/maple. Its top and back, both assembled from this combination of woods, plays with a distinctly clear and resonant tone both acoustically and when plugged in. A solid maple centerblock lands within this model to defeat excessive feedback that can affect fully hollow guitars. Together, this set of specifications results in a guitar that balances powerful resonance and reeled in tonal restraint.

A mahogany neck starts the rest of this experience out with a Rounded "C" profile, seamlessly slipping into hand and inspiring easy trips from higher to lower registers. Its rosewood fingerboard offers up a smooth experience for easy fretting across twenty-two frets bearing acrylic small block inlays. The board's twelve-inch radius makes fretting chords and solos alike a breeze. An ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge pairs with a Graph Tech nut at the opposite ends of a 24.75" scale length to ground strings stably and assist in string changes.

Calibrated T-Type humbucking pickups load into the body of this semi-hollow to breathe warmth into any amplified scenario. Its hand-wired assembly features Orange Drop capacitors and 500K potentiometers for rolling through a rich spectrum of sounds. All of this is topped off by the ES-335's Vintage Deluxe tuning machines and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece to ensure stability across the whole instrument. This Gibson special travels with an included Gibson hardshell case. In addition, this ES-335 is decked in a Gibson Custom Color series gloss finish to stand out onstage.

Gibson's classic keen eye for assembly and ear for tone are effortlessly brought together on this, an icon of semi-hollow design.
