Epiphone ES-335 Figured - Purple Burst

The Epiphone ES-335 Figured – Purple Burst is one of those guitars that ticks both boxes straight away — it looks incredible, and it’s got the tone to back it up. Based on one of the most iconic electric guitar designs ever made, this is Epiphone doing the ES-335 properly, with a modern twist.

You’ve got that classic semi-hollow body construction here, with a solid maple centre block running through the middle. That’s the magic of a 335 — it gives you the warmth and airiness of a hollowbody, but with added sustain and feedback resistance, so you can push it a bit harder without things getting out of control. It’s a really versatile platform, equally at home clean, crunchy or fully driven.

Tone-wise, the Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers keep things nicely balanced. The neck pickup is warm and smooth, great for blues, jazz or mellow rhythm work, while the bridge has enough bite and clarity to cut through for leads and more driven sounds. It’s that classic ES-335 range — rich, expressive and easy to shape depending on how you play.

The neck has a comfortable, familiar feel — easy to get around, whether you’re working through chords or stretching out into lead lines. It’s one of those guitars that doesn’t fight you, which is exactly what you want from something this versatile.

Now, visually — this is where it really stands out. The figured flame maple veneer top and back under that Purple Burst finish is properly eye-catching. It’s bold, modern, and definitely not shy — but it still keeps that classic ES-335 shape grounded. A nice balance of tradition and personality.

Hardware is solid too, with Grover Rotomatic tuners keeping everything stable and reliable, and the overall build feeling dependable whether you’re gigging, rehearsing or recording.

At Musicmaker, this is the kind of guitar we’d hand to someone who wants a do-it-all electric but doesn’t want something boring. It covers a lot of ground sonically, and it’s got the looks to stand out while doing it.

If you’re after a semi-hollow electric guitar in Ireland with classic ES-335 tone and a modern visual edge, the Epiphone ES-335 Figured in Purple Burst is a serious contender.
