Full Description

Heritage hollowbody tone

Complete tonal freedom. The ES-355 blows sonic versatility wide open. Hollowbody guitars are renowned for their ability to produce fuller, more-resonant tones than their solid-body counterparts. Possessing the warm, rounded qualities of an acoustic guitar, hollowbody guitars deliver an unmatched presence on stage.

The elegant hollowbody design also features a double cutaway for enhanced playability, and providing you with precise control across all 22 frets. Achieve a beautifully natural tone, perfect for blues and rock genres. Furthermore, an ebony fretboard allows for an exceptionally smooth playing experience, as well as scorching sustain tones with plenty of attack. An all-mahogany neck ensures an unmatched response in your playing. Beautifully vintage feel.

Superb clarity

Crafted to excel. Equipped with a dual Epiphone Probucker humbucking configuration, the ES-355 ensures tonal brilliance in all departments. Humbuckers specialise in delivering ultimate clarity with every note you play.

Made up of two coils, these iconic pickups eliminate any hum that may disturb your playing experience, as well as producing the gorgeously thick, full tone that Bonamassa has demonstrated for decades. This sought-after sound thrives in any genre. From warm, clean tones, to heavy overdrive; the ES-355 compliments your playing to its full capacity.

With the use of the Bigsby tremolo bar, endless invention lies at your disposal. An all-gold hardware setup makes for a remarkable aesthetic. Shape your sound to your desires.
