Gibson ES-335 Dot - Sixties Cherry

The Gibson ES-335 Dot: A Timeless Icon of Versatility and Style

The Cornerstone of Gibson's Legacy

The Gibson ES-335 Dot in Sixties Cherry is a testament to the rich history of the ES series, a guitar that has been a cornerstone of music history since its introduction in 1958. Combining the warmth and resonance of its semi-hollow body with impeccable craftsmanship, the ES-335 delivers the versatile tone that players have cherished for over six decades. Its classic Sixties Cherry finish and dot inlays honor its vintage roots while offering modern reliability.

Exceptional Tone and Playability

At the heart of the ES-335 are Gibson’s Calibrated T-Type humbucking pickups, paired with a hand-wired control assembly featuring 500K potentiometers and orange drop capacitors. This combination produces a versatile tonal palette, from smooth jazz to gritty blues and rock. The Rounded "C" mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard with medium jumbo frets provide unmatched comfort, making it a joy to play whether you're soloing or strumming.

Premium Construction and Hardware

The ES-335’s body features a 3-ply maple/poplar/maple top and back with spruce bracing, delivering a balance of warmth and clarity. A gloss nitrocellulose lacquer finish enhances its resonance and vintage aesthetic. The lightweight Aluminum ABR-1 bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, anchored by steel thumb-wheels and studs, ensure precise intonation and tuning stability, while the Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons add a touch of elegance.

Designed for Performance and Durability

The single-ply cream binding, black 5-ply pickguard, and black top hat knobs with silver reflectors maintain the ES-335’s classic look. With its 24.75" scale length and a nut width of 1.7", this guitar offers effortless playability for players of all styles. Whether you're performing live or recording in the studio, the ES-335 is built to deliver exceptional performance every time.
