The Real Deal: A Pre-Owned 2021 Gibson ES-335
This isn’t just any guitar. This is a Gibson ES-335, the legendary semi-hollow that has powered everything from blues to rock to jazz for decades. This pre-owned 2021 model in a classic Vintage Sunburst finish is in Very Good condition and comes with its original hard shell case, ready for the stage, studio, or your favorite armchair. It’s got that authentic Gibson feel and tone that you just can’t fake, all at a price that respects your wallet.
Classic Construction, Timeless Tone
The magic of the ES-335 starts with its construction. A 3-ply Maple/Poplar/Maple body paired with a solid Maple centerblock gives you the perfect blend of acoustic resonance and solidbody sustain. This design minimizes feedback while delivering a voice full of warmth, bloom, and articulation. The Gloss Nitrocellulose Lacquer finish isn’t just for looks; it allows the wood to breathe and resonate freely, ensuring the guitar’s tone will only get better with age.
Effortless Playability
A great guitar should feel like an extension of your hands, and this ES-335 delivers. The Rounded “C” mahogany neck has a comfortable, familiar feel that’s substantial enough for big chords but fast enough for intricate lead work. The 12-inch radius rosewood fingerboard and medium jumbo frets make for buttery smooth bends and a low-effort playing experience across the entire 24.75-inch scale length. It’s a neck you can play for hours without fatigue.
Authentic Gibson Voice
Plug it in, and you’re greeted with the unmistakable sound of Gibson’s Calibrated T-Type humbuckers. These pickups are engineered to capture the coveted character of vintage PAFs, offering clarity, warmth, and a dynamic response that reacts to every nuance of your playing. From glassy cleans to gritty overdrive, the tone is rich and complex. The hand-wired controls, featuring 500K potentiometers and orange drop capacitors, give you a highly interactive and usable tonal palette to explore.
