Gibson ES-335, Spearmint #232640238

Full Description

Timeless semi-hollowbody design

The Gibson ES-335 has been a staple of electric guitar craftsmanship since its debut in 1958. With its distinctive semi-hollow construction, this model offers the perfect blend of airy resonance and focused sustain. The 3-ply maple/poplar/maple body provides warmth and depth, while the solid maple centreblock enhances sustain and reduces unwanted feedback. This combination ensures that every note rings out with clarity, making it an excellent choice for anything from jazz and blues to rock and beyond. Now available in the striking Spearmint finish, this ES-335 stands out as a fresh take on a true classic.

Exceptional playability and comfort

Designed for effortless performance, the ES-335 features a mahogany neck with a Rounded C profile that sits comfortably in your hand. Its shape is refined for players who demand a smooth and natural feel, striking the ideal balance between vintage charm and modern ergonomics. The rosewood fretboard with a 12” radius and medium jumbo frets allows for easy chording, fluid lead work, and expressive string bending. No matter if you’re playing intricate jazz lines or soaring rock solos, this neck provides a confident and relaxed playing experience that encourages creativity.

Vintage-inspired pickups with modern versatility

At the heart of the ES-335’s legendary tone are Gibson’s Calibrated T-Type humbuckers. Designed to capture the rich, articulate character of vintage PAF-style pickups, they deliver a broad tonal range that suits a variety of genres. The bridge pickup offers a tight, punchy response perfect for cutting through the mix, while the neck pickup delivers warmth and depth ideal for smooth leads and soulful chords. Hand-wired controls with 500K potentiometers and Orange Drop® capacitors provide smooth tone shaping, ensuring you can dial in everything from pristine cleans to rich, harmonically complex overdrive.

Premium hardware for stability and sustain

Built for reliability and tone, the ES-335 is equipped with high-quality hardware that enhances both sustain and tuning stability. The nickel-plated ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece ensure rock-solid intonation and resonance, providing the sustain and clarity this guitar is known for. Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons deliver precise tuning stability, while a Graph Tech® nut ensures smooth string movement and eliminates tuning issues. A Gibson hardshell case is included, offering the protection needed to keep your ES-335 safe on the road or at home.
