Gibson ES-335

Gibson ES-335 with its centre block design was released as part of Gibson's Electric Spanish series as a way to bridge what players felt was missing from solid body guitars. The result was a beautiful guitar with a bold design and warm character. The ES-335 boasts the elements that are essential for Gibson guitars, like a mahogany neck, bar tailpiece with a tune-o-matic bridge, Deluxe tuners and humbucking pickups, tapping into that signature Gibson tone while still having its own distinct qualities that have made it hit with many top guitarists, including Alvin Lee, Freddie King, Dave Grohl, Eric Clapton, Larry Carlton, Chuck Berry. Whether you're looking at vintage guitars or something brand new, the Gibson ES-335 is a classic that has never gone out of style.

The ES-335 is one of Gibson's most famous guitars. It is a semi-acoustic guitar with two hollow f-holed sides and a solid maple wood block centre. Introduced in 1958, the ES-335 has proven itself suitable for pop, rock, blues, jazz and a range of other genres. This makes it one of the most versatile guitar designs available. Gibson ES-335 guitars featured a maple neck in the '70s but has since featured a mahogany neck in more recent models.

The semi-hollow body nature of the ES-335 gives it a more open sound while the centre block is used to anchor the pickups and reduce feedback. The ES-335 typically has a pair a humbucker pickups, a tune-o-matic bridge and a 24.75" scale length, making it extremely easy to play. The large, double cutaway body makes it immediately recognisable.

Gibson ES-335 can be seen in hands of players such as Chuck Berry, B.B. King and Alvin Lee. It can even be found in popular culture through Marty McFly! The classic look and sound make it a timeless model that will always be a popular choice.
