Here, everything is focused on the feel and aesthetics of the very first ES-335s introduced in 1958: semi-hollow thinline format, dot inlays, discreet cream binding, and glossy nitrocellulose lacquer finishes. A guitar clearly aimed at vintage vibe enthusiasts, while remaining tailored for the modern stage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho Is This 50s ES-335 Made For, and What Styles Suit It?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cbr \/\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith its fuller \u003cstrong\u003eRounded C\u003c\/strong\u003e neck and very expressive semi-hollow behavior, this ES-335 primarily targets \u003cstrong\u003eintermediate to advanced guitarists\u003c\/strong\u003e seeking dynamic response and a true palette of nuances both with pick and fingers.
