Gibson ES-335 50s Vintage Tobacco Burst with Hardshell Case
The Gibson ES-335: 50s Vintage Tone and Timeless Feel
Classic Semi Hollow ES Tone
The Gibson ES-335 50s captures the essence of the earliest dot neck ES models with a lively semi hollow voice that balances warmth, clarity, and sustain. The maple and poplar body construction paired with a solid maple centerblock delivers rich harmonic content with impressive feedback resistance. Clean tones bloom with woody articulation while overdriven sounds stay focused and expressive.
Custombucker Pickups with PAF Character
Loaded with a pair of Custombucker Alnico 3 pickups, this ES-335 serves up the airy sweetness and dynamic response players chase in late 50s humbuckers. Chords have depth and detail while single notes carry a vocal quality that feels alive under the fingers. The hand wired controls with Orange Drop capacitors provide smooth and musical roll off for everything from smoky jazz tones to biting classic rock crunch.
Rounded C Neck Feel
The substantial Rounded C mahogany neck has an immediately familiar feel with a comfortable grip that encourages long playing sessions. Medium jumbo frets and a bound rosewood fingerboard offer an effortless balance of precision and vintage style. The 12 inch radius makes bends smooth and controlled while maintaining excellent chord clarity throughout the neck.
Vintage Inspired Appointments
From the gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish to the five ply long pickguard and gold Top Hat knobs, every detail leans into the golden era aesthetic. The Vintage Tobacco Burst finish gives this ES-335 a timeless look that perfectly complements its warm and resonant tonal character. Vintage Deluxe tuners and the ABR-1 Tune O Matic bridge complete the classic setup with excellent stability and sustain.
Built for Players
Whether plugged into a clean combo or a cranked tube amp, the ES-335 50s responds with touch sensitivity and musicality that rewards expressive playing. It covers everything from blues and jazz to roots rock and fusion with ease, making it one of the most versatile electric guitars ever produced.
