Product Description

The Iconic Semi-Hollow, Authentically Recreated

There are few guitars as iconic as the ES-335. From blues legends to rock gods, its warm, resonant tone has defined genres for decades. Epiphone has absolutely nailed that vintage vibe with this ES-335. It’s a stunning recreation of the guitar that started it all. From the moment you pick it up, the laminated maple body and solid maple centerblock just sing with sustain and fight off feedback, giving you all that airy semi-hollow goodness without the unwanted squeal.

Voiced for Vintage Warmth and Modern Clarity

At the heart of this guitar is a pair of Epiphone’s Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers. These pickups are the real deal, delivering a tone that’s both warm and articulate. The neck pickup is pure buttery smoothness, perfect for soulful leads and jazzy chords. Flip to the bridge, and you get a satisfying bite and top-end chime that cuts through any mix. The controls, which are powered by high-quality CTS potentiometers, give you a massive range of sounds to explore, from bright and spanky to dark and mellow.

Plays Like a Dream

The Rounded “C” neck profile is a player’s favorite for a reason. It’s substantial enough to grab onto for big bends and chords, but still comfortable enough for hours of playing. The Indian Laurel fingerboard with its 12″ radius feels slick and fast under the fingers, making lead lines and complex voicings feel effortless. It’s a neck that just feels right, whether you’re a seasoned pro or just starting your journey.

Anatomy of a Tone Machine

Anatomy of a Tone Machine

Perfect for: Blues • Rock • Jazz • Fusion

Tone

  • Bridge pickup offers a punchy, articulate bite with a glassy top-end—perfect for rock riffs and cutting leads.
  • Neck pickup is warm, round, and buttery—ideal for smooth jazz voicings and soulful blues phrasing.
  • The middle position is balanced and open, blending the warmth of the neck with the clarity of the bridge for exceptional rhythm tones.
  • Responds beautifully to your pick attack; dig in for aggressive grit or play softly for a gentle, woody bloom.

Playing Feel

  • The classic ES-335 body shape is comfortable and well-balanced, whether you're playing seated or standing.
  • The Rounded "C" mahogany neck has a substantial, vintage feel that's incredibly comfortable for chording and single-note runs.
  • The gloss finish and Indian Laurel fingerboard provide a smooth, fast playing surface.
  • This is a guitar you can play all night without fatigue—it just feels like an old friend.

Versatility

  • Excels at everything from clean jazz to overdriven blues and classic rock. The maple centerblock keeps feedback at bay even with gain.
  • A fantastic pedal platform. The Alnico Classic PROs handle overdrives, fuzzes, and delays with definition and warmth.
  • In the studio, it sits perfectly in a mix, providing a rich tonal foundation without sounding muddy.
  • The semi-hollow construction gives it an acoustic-like resonance that translates beautifully for recording, adding air and dimension to tracks.

The Lowdown

We get it. Buying a guitar you haven’t played is a big decision. You need to know it’s going to feel right, sound right, and inspire you the second you open the case. We put together the questions we’d be asking if we were in your shoes—the real-world stuff that specs alone can’t answer. If there’s anything else you’re wondering about, just give us a call.

The solid maple centerblock is key to the ES-335’s magic. It adds sustain and warmth like a solid body guitar, but the hollow ‘wings’ on either side let the notes breathe and bloom with an airy, acoustic-like quality. It’s also your best friend on a loud stage, as it dramatically reduces the feedback common with fully hollow guitars.
They are incredibly versatile. They have that vintage PAF-style warmth that’s perfect for blues, jazz, and classic rock. They clean up beautifully when you roll back the volume, but they can also scream when you push them with an overdrive pedal. They have a great balance of warmth and clarity that makes them suitable for almost any genre.
Of course. Every guitar gets our full Player-Perfect™ setup, but tell us your preferred string gauge and action at checkout, and we’ll dial it in exactly to your spec before it leaves the shop.
This guitar is covered by our 14-Day Return Policy. If you’re not completely inspired by it, just let us know. We’ll make it right.
If you order before 3 PM CST on a weekday, it ships the same day. We’ll get it into your hands fast with free, insured 2-3 day shipping.
Call us at (888) 794-8482. You’ll talk to a real musician who can answer anything you need to know.
