Supreme semi-hollow sound
The Gibson ES-335 is meticulously crafted to produce the most natural of tones. And fuel your sound with the cherished heritage of rock ‘n’ roll. Semi-hollow bodies are renowned for their fuller projection than that of solid body guitars. The ES-335 possesses a warmth and clarity that others simply can’t compete with. Meaning your leads will truly sing, while your chords fill the room. No matter your style, the ES-335 is designed to ensure every note you play shimmers with the timeless quality of Gibson.
It’s made for the stage. That means no more feedback. Whilst traditional hollow-body guitars are notorious for producing unwanted noise as you crank the volume, semi-hollow bodies combine the best of both worlds. So you can play at high volumes on stage, whilst maintaining superb clarity and note definition. Take that, and blend it with the irresistible, wholesome tone of a hollow-body, and you have yourself the ES-335.
It's a timeless tone
The ES-335 is equipped with a pair of Calibrated T-Type humbucker pickups, meaning you’ll enjoy the ultimate Gibson sound in every note you play. They offer a consistently well-balanced sonic, whilst still retaining the versatility that has been enjoyed from the ES tone for decades. Naturally, humbuckers specialise in producing the hot, rich tones of rock 'n' roll. And these are no exception with superb clarity in every playing style. From twinkling cleans to roaring drive – the ES-335’s got you covered.
Fuelled with functionality
Lightweight and ergonomic; the benefits of a semi-hollow design go way beyond its incredible sound. Experience unbelievable fret access on stage, with a double-cutaway body shape unlocking a world of possibility in your performance. Wave goodbye to all restrictions. Because the ES-335 knows how to enhance your playing experience to its full potential.
The attention-to-detail goes beyond just the body, though. A rounded ‘C’ neck profile means easy position changes across the entirety of the guitar’s scale. Paired with a quarter-sawn mahogany neck, playing is almost effortless. Therefore, your hands can easily get to grips with every inch of the rosewood surface. It’s in Gibson’s history to cater for player performance. And yet again, they continue to deliver in extraordinary style.
