Gibson ES-335 60’s Vintage Burst Semi-Hollow Electric Guitar

This is a Gibson ES-335 60’s Semi-Hollow electric guitar in Vintage Burst Gloss nitrocellulose lacquer. Made in the USA in 2026 this guitar features a semi-hollow Maple/Poplar body with Maple centreblock, Mahogany neck and 22 fret bound Rosewood fingerboard. Other appointments include Grover Rotomatic tuning machines and ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic with Stop bar tailpiece. A pair of Gibson T-Type humbuckers are fitted and wired to independent volume and tone controls as well as a 3-way pickup selector.

The Mahogany neck plays very well, with the SlimTaper profile that sits very comfortably in the hand and offers an articulate and responsive playing experience in all registers. The Gloss finish to the rear of the neck ensures that navigation of the 24.75” scale is an effortless affair, whilst the Rosewood fingerboard provides a pleasant and luxurious surface for the fingers. The 12” fingerboard radius is traditional for Gibson, and strikes the perfect balance between comfortable chord playing and practicality for lead lines and string bending. The smooth lines of the body are as comfortable in the arms as ever, whilst the semi-hollow construction keeps the weight down and produces a resonant and lively playing experience.

The guitar resonates beautifully, filling out the sound with a deep and rich character. The neck pickup is warm and round, and can handle plenty of gain meaning you can achieve anything from jazzy lines through to soaring rock and blues solo tones. The bridge pickup is hotter, driving the front end of an amp with ease and producing the bright, biting tones that cut right through the mix to put your playing front and centre. The traditional dual humbucker control layout feels very responsive, allowing you to explore a wide tonal palette right on the instrument.
