The Timeless Tradition, Now in Deep Purple The Gibson ES-335 is the cornerstone of the Gibson ES™ line-up. From its inaugural appearance in 1958, the Gibson ES-335 set an unmatched standard. The pearloid dot inlay rosewood fingerboard on a Rounded "C" mahogany neck reminds players where it all started. Calibrated T-Type humbucking pickups are paired with our hand-wired control assembly. The result is that versatile Gibson ES tone and feel that players have craved for over 60 years. Tuning stability and precise intonation are provided by the Vintage Deluxe tuners and an ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic™ bridge. A hardshell case is also included.
