Iconic Semi Hollow Warmth With Sixties Cherry Attitude
The Gibson ES-335 is the original Swiss Army knife of electric guitars. Plug this Sixties Cherry beauty in and you get that airy, woody bloom of a semi hollow with the punch and focus of a solid body, ready for anything from smoky jazz clubs to loud rock stages.
Real talk, there is a reason players have chased this sound for over 60 years. The second you crack the case and hit a chord you hear the chime, the midrange growl, and the way notes hang and sing instead of dying off.
Classic 335 Construction And Airy Resonance
The 3 ply maple poplar maple body with a solid maple centerblock gives you the best of both worlds. You get semi hollow bloom and acoustic volume, but the centerblock keeps feedback under control and adds sustain and punch when you turn the amp up.
Spruce bracing and the gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish let the whole guitar breathe and resonate instead of feeling stiff or choked. At 8.1 lbs this one has enough mass for tight low end, yet still feels alive and responsive against your chest when you play unplugged.
Rounded C Neck That Feels Instantly Familiar
The rounded C mahogany neck hits that sweet spot between chunky vintage and sleek modern. It fills the hand without being a baseball bat, so you can dig in for big bends or play chords for hours without fighting the guitar.
The rosewood fingerboard with a 12 inch radius and 22 medium jumbo frets keeps things smooth under your fingers. Bends stay glassy and in tune, chords ring clean across the neck, and the 24.75 inch scale gives strings a slightly looser, more elastic feel that makes vibrato and legato work effortless.
Calibrated T Type Humbuckers With Vintage Inspired Punch
Gibson’s calibrated T Type humbuckers are voiced for that classic ES tone players have craved for decades. The neck pickup delivers warm, rounded cleans that never get muddy, perfect for jazz lines, soul rhythm parts, and syrupy leads.
Kick over to the bridge and you get bite, grind, and upper mid cut that loves edge of breakup amps and classic overdrive pedals. The handwired control assembly with 500K pots and Orange Drop capacitors keeps the top end open and lets your volume and tone knobs act like a built in gain and EQ section.
Stable Pro Hardware That Lets You Focus On Playing
An ABR 1 Tune O Matic bridge and lightweight aluminum stop bar tailpiece give you rock solid intonation and great transfer of vibration into the body. Vintage Deluxe tuners with keystone buttons hold tune confidently while keeping the classic Gibson silhouette intact.
Nickel hardware, the black 5 ply pickguard, and black top hat reflector knobs tie the whole look together. It is the timeless 335 vibe that never goes out of style and looks right on any stage.
