Supreme semi-hollow sound

Your home of purity. The Gibson ES-335 is meticulously crafted to produce the most natural of tones. 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. What’s not to like?

It's a timeless tone

Inspired tone. Experts in providing vintage tone that excels in any genre, Gibson have done it again with this model.

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.

Deliver the dynamics you've been dreaming of

Get the best out of your sound. As a guitarist, you'll get frustrated when sound quality is lost after you've turned down the volume on your instrument. Dynamics can be lost and, as a result, the overall audio becomes a little darker. Well not with the ES-335. Thanks to controls hand-wired with 500K potentiometers and orange drop capacitors, this won't happen. The experts at Gibson have taken precautions to preserve sound quality, ensuring tonal depth and clarity remains, no matter the volume. Create that diverse atmosphere you've always wanted. Never compromise.

Take your performance to the next level

Perfect for the stage. The Gibson ES-335 is specially built for an effortless playing experience. It starts with the neck. Sculpted into a rounded ‘C’, the luxurious mahogany neck feels at home in the palm of your hand. Partner this with a sleek rosewood fretboard and your hand transitions have never been so effortless. Have complete control over every inch of this guitar’s scale, and play with ultimate freedom.

There's more. The incredible playability doesn't stop with just the neck. Its semi-hollow construction creates a real sense of weightlessness in your performance. And, as a result, you can indulge in a completely unrestricted playing experience, with unlimited access to the upper frets thanks to the double-cutaway shape. No more restraints. Just you, the stage, and a guitar that’s destined to unleash your imagination.

It sounds awesome. It plays awesome. So you better believe it looks awesome, too. A gorgeous vintage ebony finish catches the eye and looks bold agaisnt the black top hats of the control knobs which have a silver reflector to add an extra touch of shimmering class. There's style all the way to edges which are lined with single-ply cream binding.
