Full Description

Ideal for musicians of every style

Perfect for all genres and playing styles. As you'll find out, the ES-335 is used by artists from pretty much every category you can think of. This is thanks to the instrument's huge versatility in sound. A master in authentic, acoustic warmth - beautiful, sustained tones can easily be achieved. A classic semi-hollowbody delivers this, and brings with it majestic harmonics, giving your rhythm playing amazing depth. This is not all the ES-335 can do, though. It can also serve as an exhilarating machine of rock n' roll. You can apply distortion and overdrive effects without the worry of feedback due to this model's slim body, slightly narrower than most of the older ES-335s. If you want an instrument capable of stunning, electrifying lead, then this is the guitar for you.

Crystal clear clarity of sound

Sound quality is integral. You're able to rest easy with the ES-335, comfortable in the knowledge that you have a guitar at the absolute pinnacle of delivering articulate tone and pinpoint definition of sound. Gibson's MHS II humbucking pickups expertly eliminate any interference in sound, affording your playing a clear, crisp and untainted finish. These second edition pickups, new for 2019 Gibson models, are hand-wired and feature 550K matched potentiometers and orange drop capacitators. The result is a beautifully defined balance of sound that can cut through a mix at all volumes, without ever sacrificing quality.

Gibson's best ever craftsmanship

Gibson guitars are the absolute pinnacle of guitarmaking craftsmanship. Every hand-made model is subject to hours, days, weeks, and months of hard work. With this ES-335, an extra bit of special effort has gone in to ensuring that this eclipses Gibson's already unbelievably high standards. The maple centreblock is aged at high temperatures to strengthen and tighten it, enhancing sustain. The figured body with a breathtaking, shining blueberry burst finish is completed with a black 5-ply pickguard to protect the instrument's aesthetic elegance. Even the volume control knobs feature silver reflectors to improve visibility in the dark, not to mention how strikingly cool they look. Every single bit of care that could possibly have gone into the production of a guitar has been given to this one-of-a-kind, exclusive ES-335. Own something completely unique.

Stylish comfort with rounded mahogany neck

Climbing up the fretboard is simple. Your hand will never feel discomfort with the ES-335 guitar's rounded "C" shaped quarter-sawn mahogany neck, meaning you can hit the hardest to reach notes and most complicated chords with ease. Rolled binding gives the neck a played-in, slightly worn feel, instantly allowing you to express yourself to your heart's content. Your fingers can smoothly dance across frets with a dark rosewood fingerboard designed for mobility and comfort. All of this combined with the stunning appearance of elegant mahogany and rosewood create a fantastically playable neck with eye-catching style.

Time-proven quality with a legendary instrument

The ES-335 is a guitar icon. Since its release all the way back in the 1958, it's been one of the most widely-used and popular guitars in the music industry. Chuck Berry became an inventor of rock and roll with this as his weapon. Eric Clapton's model toured the world with Cream and on his solo shows, and went on to sell for almost a million dollars, such was its iconic appeal. Dave Grohl wielded one while making Foo Fighters one of the biggest bands of the 21st century. The list goes on and on. BB King, Roy Orbison, and Johnny Marr have all used an ES-335. With such a phenomenal musical pedigree, you can be absolutely certain that this guitar is amongst the best in the business.

Safety and security with Gibson hardshell case included

When you purchase an instrument of the immense quality that the ES-335 has, you want to make sure that your guitar won't be damaged or worn. This model includes a supremely durable, long-lasting Gibson hardshell guitar case at no extra cost. Your guitar will always have the maximum protection, meaning that no matter how demanding your tour schedule is, and no matter how many flights, trains or buses you have to catch, your ES-335 will remain in tact. Eric Clapton took his all over the world with him for over 40 years before he auctioned it for charity in 2004, the guitar itself still in mint condition. With Gibson's hardshell protection, you can make yours last too.
