The ES-335 is a Gibson ES™ model that has been wowing guitar players all over the world for over six decades. From its introduction in 1958, the Gibson ES-335 set an unmatched standard, and it remains one of the world's most beloved and versatile electric guitars today. Regardless of the styles of music you play, from rock to blues, from country to metal, the ES-335’s versatility enables you to do them all. This ES-335 is no exception and is now available in exciting custom colors that are sure to get attention.

The ES-335’s body is crafted with layered maple/poplar/maple for the top, back, and sides. It is coupled with a solid maple centerblock to create the amazing sustain, warmth, and resonant tone that players crave in a semi-hollowbody instrument. The solid maple center block also helps in controlling the unwanted feedback that often plagues full hollowbody guitars. The mahogany neck has a Rounded C profile that is extremely comfortable and easy to play. It’s not too large or too small, but “just right” for many players. It is capped with a rosewood fretboard with a 12” radius that makes it easy to play chords and bend strings without fretting out, and that is adorned with acrylic dot inlays, and equipped with 22 medium jumbo frets.

A Graph Tech® nut and Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons help maintain tuning stability, while the nickel-plated ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge and aluminum Stop Bar tailpiece anchor the strings solidly at the other end to deliver the outstanding sustain that the ES-335 is famous for. Gibson’s Calibrated T-Type humbucker™ pickups in the lead (bridge) and rhythm (neck) positions deliver a wide range of tones and further reinforce the ES-335’s exceptional versatility. They are hand-wired to individual volume and tone controls with 500k potentiometers and Orange Drop® tone capacitors, along with a three-way pickup selector switch that lets you run either pickup individually or combine them at will in any ratio you desire since each is controlled by a separate volume knob. The control knobs are stylish black Top Hats with silver reflectors. A Gibson hardshell case is also included to keep the ES-335 safe and secure when you’re on the way to your next gig.
