Gibson ES-335 Figured Sixties Cherry Left Handed

What we say:

At A Glance

The Gibson ES ES-335 Figured Sixties Cherry Left Handed puts a handsome spin on a cornerstone of modern guitar.

Dating back to 1958, the Gibson ES-335 set a high standard with what has become an iconic design. This model takes its cues from the original but has updated it with some modern features that deliver superb tone and quality. Instantly noticeable is the AAA figured maple top which is beautifully showcased with the Sixties Cherry finish. A hand-rolled Rounded C mahogany neck is a comfortable and faithful historic touch.

The T-Type pickups give a slightly different tonal flavour but maintain a sound that we all know and love. As you would expect from Gibson, the build quality is impressive. The ES-335 has been the choice of many musicians over the years and continues to be favoured by many - with this model it is easy to see why.

Features We Love:

Gibson T-Type Pickups

A pair of Calibrated T-Type pickups deliver a superb variety of humbucker sounds. Based on the old 'T-Top' pickups, these are a welcomed addition due to the high popularity of the originals. More modern sounding than the PAF, they deliver a classic sound with a touch of the contemporary.

Vintage Deluxe Tuners

The tuners look great with the keystone buttons but more importantly, they perform to a high standard. The tuning stability is impressive and along with the aluminium bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, intonation is accurate.

Electronics

Working in conjunction with the Gibson pickups, the electronics play a large part in the overall tonal excellence of this instrument. The orange drop capacitors provide definition and reliability. Many people choose to upgrade to these capacitors so it is great to have them already included.

Highlights:

• Gibson build quality
• Classic design with some modern features for greater tone
• AAA figured maple top
