Essential Information About the Epiphone Inspired by Gibson ES-335 Figured Guitar (Left-Handed)

• True ES-335 spirit: semi-hollow body with a maple center block to increase sustain and reduce feedback at high volumes.


• Rock, blues, and jazz tones: two Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers and full electronics (2 volumes, 2 tones, 3-way selector).


• Reliable hardware: Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar LockTone tailpiece, nickel finish, and stable setup.

A Revisited ES-335: The Semi-Hollow Legacy in the "Inspired by Gibson" Range

This ES-335 Figured belongs to the "Inspired by Gibson" universe, carrying the DNA of the legendary semi-hollow that marked the transition from archtops to more modern grounds. Its ES-335 format and construction with a center block retain the semi-hollow character while providing more sustain when pushing the amp, all wrapped in a particularly refined flamed aesthetic.

For Which Guitarists and Styles?

Left-handed model, designed for intermediate to advanced guitarists (and motivated beginners) who want a versatile semi-hollow. Ideal for blues, rock, indie, soul, and jazz: it goes from a round, articulate clean to a thick, singing overdrive, while remaining more controllable than a fully hollow body against feedback.

The Sound

The ES-335 semi-hollow recipe combines the resonance of a laminated maple body and the stability of a maple center block. Result: firm lows, expressive mids, and precise highs, with great acoustic projection and sustain superior to many semi-hollows without a block. The two Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers deliver a warm, full sound at the neck, perfect for jazzy chords and smooth leads, while the bridge pickup provides more attack and bite for rock riffs. The classic 2 volumes + 2 tones circuit with CTS potentiometers allows fine tonal adjustments and volume-based cleaning, with a 3-position selector to instantly switch between tones.
