Gibson ES 335

The ES-335 is one of Gibson's most famous guitars. It is a semi-acoustic guitar with two hollow f-holed sides to its body and a solid centre block of Maple to anchor the pickups and reduce feedback. Introduced in 1958, the ES-335 has proven itself suitable for Pop, Rock, Blues, Jazz and a myriad of other genres. This makes it one of the most versatile guitar designs available.

The semi hollow nature of the ES-335 opens its sound up and gives it a less overtly thick tone in comparison to the Gibson Les Paul and, to a lesser extent, the SG. Like these two models, 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 is immediately recognisable. It has been a very influential design for other companies as well as Gibson themselves. They now offer a large range of other semi-acoustic guitars designed in the wake of the 335.

Cherry Red ES-335 guitars have, thanks to Chuck Berry and perhaps even Marty McFly, become the iconic 335 model.
