Stunning clarity
Feedback. It’s the bane of every hollowbody guitarist’s performance. Thankfully, the ES-335 waves goodbye to such problems. Gibson are renowned for ensuring that every one of their instruments is tailored for a live setting. Which is why the ES-335’s semi-hollow design allows you to crank the volume as loud as you want, without being interrupted by any unwanted noise. Therefore, you can count on your sound to maintain exceptional clarity and definition with every note you play. Hollowbody sound, made easy.
Timeless Gibson tone
A sound inspired by the best. Gibson are experts in providing vintage tone that excels in any genre. And the ES-335 is certainly no exception.
It's equipped with a pair of ‘57 Classic humbucker pickups, meaning you’ll enjoy optimum tonal balance in every note you play. They’re evenly wound to produce a consistent distribution across the EQ spectrum, whilst still retaining that iconic vintage flair. Naturally, humbuckers specialise in producing the hot, rich tones of rock ‘n’ roll. And they do it with superb clarity, in every playing-style. From twinkling cleans, to roaring drive – the ES-335’s got you covered.
Exceptional at any volume
Get the best out of your sound. Many guitars can lose sound quality when the volume is turned down. Dynamism can be lost and, as a result, the overall audio becomes a little darker. Thanks to the innovative Memphis Tone Circuit, wired with 500K potentiometers and ceramic capacitators, this is not an issue. Every step has been taken to preserve sound quality, ensuring tonal depth and clarity remains, no matter the volume.
Crafted for maximum comfort
Refined for the modern stage. The Gibson ES-335 is especially built for an effortless playing experience. First off – the neck. Sculpted into a rounded ‘C’, the single piece maple neck feels just right in the palm of your hand. Paired with a sleek rosewood fretboard, position changes have never been simpler. So you can have complete control over every inch of the guitar’s scale, and play with ultimate freedom.
There’s more to the ES-335’s immaculate playability than just the neck, though. Its semi-hollow construction creates a real sense of weightlessness in your performance. And, as a result, you can indulge in a totally 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 for inspiring performance.
Keep your instrument secure
Taking your instrument on the road? Never fear. The ES-335 comes with a luxurious Gibson Hardshell case, giving your instrument the maximum protection it deserves. So, if you’re worried about bringing your pride and joy along with you on your travels – breathe. Keeping your guitar from any potential scrapes or bumps, you can rely on the ES-335 to be in pristine condition every time you step on stage. Peace of mind, wherever you are.
