Classic ES-335 Semi-Hollow Design

Since its introduction in 1958, the Gibson ES-335 has become one of the most recognizable and versatile electric guitars ever produced.

Its semi-hollow construction combines the warmth and acoustic character of a hollowbody with the sustain and focused response of a solidbody, making it equally comfortable in blues, jazz, classic rock, and modern styles.

This 2016 Satin Cherry example retains the familiar ES-335 silhouette and traditional Gibson appointments while offering a more understated appearance than its gloss-finished counterparts.

The satin nitrocellulose finish also gives the guitar a smooth, comfortable feel that complements its classic design.

Gibson Burstbucker 1 & 2 Humbuckers

The Gibson Burstbucker 1 neck and Burstbucker 2 bridge pickups deliver a versatile range of vintage-inspired humbucker tones.

The Burstbucker 1 offers warm, articulate neck tones with excellent clarity for clean passages, blues, and smooth lead work.

The Burstbucker 2 provides a slightly stronger bridge voice with plenty of bite, midrange presence, and dynamic response when pushed into overdrive.

Combined with the ES-335's semi-hollow construction, these pickups deliver everything from rounded, mellow cleans to aggressive, singing lead tones.

Neck & Feel

The rounded "C" mahogany neck measures .87" at the 1st fret and .99" at the 12th, with a measured 1.69" nut width.

The profile has a comfortable, substantial feel without being excessively bulky, while the 12" rosewood fingerboard radius and 22 medium-jumbo frets provide familiar Gibson playability.

At 7 lbs 14 oz, this example is comfortably weighted for an ES-335 and feels well balanced whether played seated or standing.

The satin finish completes the experience with a smooth, understated feel that makes this guitar especially inviting to play.

Original Gibson Hard-Shell Case

The guitar includes its original Gibson hard-shell case, providing excellent protection for storage, travel, and shipping.
