Full Description

Timeless semi-hollow design

The Gibson ES-335 has been a staple of electric guitar history for over six decades, offering the perfect balance between hollowbody warmth and solidbody sustain. Built with a 3-ply maple/poplar/maple body and a solid maple centreblock, it delivers a rich, resonant tone with exceptional clarity. The semi-hollow construction enhances sustain while reducing feedback, making it the perfect companion if you demand versatility across a range of genres. If you need articulate cleans for jazz, biting overdrive for blues, or powerful sustain for rock solos, the ES-335 delivers with effortless character.

Classic playability with a modern edge

Comfort and playability are at the heart of the ES-335’s design, and the Rounded C mahogany neck profile strikes the perfect balance between vintage feel and modern comfort. The smooth rosewood fretboard features a 12" radius, allowing for easy chording, fluid lead playing, and smooth string bends without fretting out. With 22 medium jumbo frets, every note rings out with precision, making it easy to explore the entire fretboard. The combination of high-quality materials and ergonomic design ensures that this guitar feels as good in your hands as it sounds through your amp.

Vintage-inspired tone with modern reliability

Equipped with Gibson’s calibrated T-Type humbuckers, the ES-335 offers the full range of tones that have defined countless records. These pickups capture the warmth and depth of vintage PAF-style humbuckers while delivering a tight, articulate response that suits modern players. The hand-wired electronics feature 500k potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors, allowing for smooth, natural tone shaping. If you need sparkling cleans, bluesy grit, or high-gain sustain, the ES-335’s pickups respond with dynamic range and clarity, making it an exceptionally versatile instrument.

Premium hardware for rock-solid performance

Every component of the ES-335 is designed for reliability and performance, ensuring that it stands up to the demands of both stage and studio. The ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece provide exceptional tuning stability and sustain, while the Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons ensure precise, consistent tuning. A Graph Tech nut enhances intonation and reduces friction, helping keep your strings in tune even during intense performances. Completing the package is a durable hardshell case, ensuring that your ES-335 stays safe and secure wherever your music takes you.
