Pre-Owned Gibson Custom ES-335 - Cherry with Hard Shell Case

The Gibson Custom ES-335: A Timeless Semi-Hollow Icon

Classic Gibson ES-335 Tone and Feel

This Gibson Custom ES-335 delivers that unmistakable semi-hollow growl and singing sustain that have made it a studio and stage staple since 1958. Finished in a lush cherry gloss, this model pairs vintage aesthetics with modern craftsmanship, offering warmth, clarity, and responsiveness across the tonal spectrum. It’s a versatile workhorse equally at home in jazz, blues, or rock.

Premium Appointments and Historic Detail

This model features a classic semi-hollow maple body paired with a traditional '60s-style slim taper mahogany neck and rosewood fretboard. Dual ’57 Classic humbuckers dish out vintage-voiced tones with punch and clarity, while the ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge with stopbar tailpiece provides dependable tuning stability and sustain. Grover tuners and nickel-plated hardware round out the vintage appeal with modern reliability.

Playwear with Character

While this guitar has seen some honest playtime, it retains its integrity and tone in full. Expect visible playwear on the top, back, sides, and pickguard, a scuff on the headstock, and some finish wear near the treble horn and bass side lower bout. None of this interferes with its performance, it’s all part of the story this instrument has lived and continues to tell.

A Studio-Ready Performer

With its 24 3/4" scale, bound fingerboard, and comfortable neck profile, this ES-335 plays effortlessly whether you're comping warm jazz chords or ripping into a solo with rich overtones. Thanks to its semi-hollow body construction and humbuckers, it sits in a mix beautifully, offering air and focus without excess boom or brittleness.
