A Premium ES-335 in the Gibson Tradition

Since its launch in the late 1950s, the ES-335 has established itself as a benchmark thanks to its semi-hollow design: a laminated body and a center block that combine resonance, sustain, and stability at high volume. The Gibson ES-335 Figured follows this proven formula while adding a high-end dimension: AAA figured maple, quarter-sawn Adirondack spruce bracing, and a selection of carefully chosen components (hand-wiring, vintage-style tuners, optimized hardware).

For Whom and Which Styles?

This electric guitar is aimed at intermediate to advanced guitarists who want an expressive instrument capable of covering a wide musical range. Its ergonomics and balance make it an excellent partner for blues, classic rock, soul, jazz, and even modern pop. On stage, the center block provides extra confidence when the volume rises, while maintaining the "semi-acoustic" feel under the fingers.

The Sound

The maple/poplar/maple 3-ply construction (top and back) delivers precise attack, clear highs, and well-controlled lows, while the maple center block enhances sustain and reduces feedback sensitivity. The calibrated T-Type humbucking pickups offer a balanced vintage response: a warm and singing neck pickup for jazz/blues chords, and a sharper bridge pickup for riffs, crunch, and solos that cut through the mix. The 2 volume / 2 tone circuit and toggle switch, hand-wired with Orange Drop capacitors, allow for fine tonal shaping (cleaning up with volume, darker tone, "semi-acoustic" sounds). The hardware (ABR-1, aluminum stop bar) contributes to a responsive guitar feel with great dynamics.

Recommended Compatible Accessories

To preserve the original feel, choose a set of electric guitar strings with gauges .010-.046. A standard strap, picks, and a 6.35 mm instrument jack cable ideally complete the setup for stage or studio. A hard case is included for transport and protection.
