Epiphone Inspired By Gibson ES-335 Figured  - Blueberry Burst

The Epiphone "Inspired by Gibson" ES-335 Figured honors the immortal ES-335, the thin semi-hollow archtop that brought archtop class to the rock era. Featuring a solid maple center block for added sustain and feedback resistance, Alnico Classic PRO™ humbuckers, Grover® Rotomatic® tuners, and a flame maple veneer top and back in stunning Blueberry Burst and Raspberry Tea Burst gloss finishes that are sure to turn heads. Optional hardshell or EpiLite™ case available separately.

Pro tone

Humbucker power. Each of the Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers loaded into this guitar shines with sonic beauty. The bridge pickup is tight and powerful, offering a high output for sharp crunch and plenty of volume. It's got the characteristics of a 50s pickup mixed with modern tone and definition. The neck humbucker is equally impressive, offering a warmer sound which is both fat and super clear. It's great for bringing out the full potential of lead licks, and giving them a full, saturated voicing. With these dynamic pickups, you'll be able to take on any genre of your choosing.

Exceptional manoeuvrability

It plays perfectly. The mahogany neck is made to a rounded 'C' profile, so you can be sure that it provides your hand with the ultimate comfort and manoeuvrability. Tonally, it is warm, helping give your notes a smoothness and richness which complements virtually any style of music. Then there's the Indian laurel fretboard, which is also incredibly playable, offering decent note sustain and a sleekness of its own. You'll be skimming along each fret like a bird, giving you the freedom to improvise in your own style.

Ultra-reliable

Always play with confidence. The ES-335 is packed with quality hardware from head to toe. A Graph Tech NuBone nut ensures solid intonation and tuning stability is guaranteed for years to come. And the Epiphone LockTone TOM bridge, combined with Grover Rotomatic tuners, ensure that your strings stay locked down and singing in tune – there's some serious quality imbued into this guitar. Expect a stellar performance, every time you play.
