Epiphone Inspired by Gibson ES-335 - Cherry

The Epiphone Inspired by Gibson ES-335 – A Modern Take on a Timeless Icon

Classic semi-hollow design with rich sonic character

Epiphone’s Inspired by Gibson ES-335 in Cherry pays direct tribute to one of the most revered electric guitars in history. From its first breath in 1958, the ES-335 has embodied balance, acoustic resonance, and electric bite. Vintage warmth and cutting clarity. This modern iteration captures that lineage while remaining accessible to today’s players. Layered maple construction with a solid maple center block yields sustain for days with all the natural bloom and depth you’d expect from a semi-hollow. It’s articulate, it’s alive, and it’s unmistakably ES.

Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers: vintage voice with modern punch

Plug it in and the Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers instantly deliver the goods. There’s glassy presence in the highs, a musical roll-off in the mids, and just enough bloom down low to keep things warm without getting muddy. From clean chord work to gritty overdriven leads, these pickups have a touch-sensitive feel and remarkable dynamic range. They make the most of your amp and reward players who dig in.

Comfort-focused neck with Kalamazoo flair

The rounded C-profile mahogany neck sits in the hand with an easy, inviting shape that’s equally forgiving for rhythm and lead work. It’s a setup that feels instantly familiar. And the Kalamazoo 60s headstock shape completes the look, a subtle nod to heritage that adds real aesthetic weight.

Hardware that’s made to last

Nickel-plated hardware and Epiphone Deluxe tuners bring stability without drawing too much attention to themselves. The LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece keep things tight and in tune while transferring resonance straight into the body. It’s a simple recipe, but one that works beautifully.

A cherry finish that stands the test of time

That classic Cherry finish needs no introduction. It’s the look that launched a thousand records and shaped the face of blues, jazz, rock, and soul. Under stage lights or in your home studio, it radiates the same elegance and attitude the original was known for.
