A near immaculate example of the striking Epiphone ES-335 Figured in Blueberry Burst. All that classic 335 tone in a new suit. Super cool guitar!
Joining Epiphone's newly-conceived 'Inspired by Gibson' collection is the legendary ES-335 Figured electric guitar. Known for its ability to transcend multiple genres, the ultra-versatile ES-335 is now available at a price-point that most players can afford.
Maintaining the signature semi-hollow body construction and powerful dual-humbucker formula that almost all Gibson ES guitars are known for, the Epiphone ES-335 Figured promises a spellbinding sound with superb playability to boot - not to mention a gorgeous Flamed Maple veneer body top/back too!
Classic Construction
The ES-335's body is crafted from strong layered Maple, which is used to form its top, back and sides. Giving the instrument plenty of vibrancy, definition and acoustic-like volume, this is coupled with a solid Maple tone block that creates the amazing sustain and resonance that players crave from a genuine ES-335.
To add some mid-range warmth, the Epiphone ES-335's body is paired with a Mahogany neck; topped with an Indian Laurel fingerboard for a silky touch under the fingers. The neck adheres to a rounded "C" profile, which offers excellent comfort for traditionalists and contemporary players alike, while 22 medium jumbo frets provide a controllable feel for vibrato and string bends.
Alnico Classic PRO Pickups
A double-dose of proprietary Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers give the Epiphone ES-335 a beautiful vintage voice. Thanks to their medium output, these pickups are highly-responsive to your picking dynamics and lend themselves particularly well to expressive playing styles. Although semi-hollow guitars are fairly synonymous with jazz, these humbuckers can sound raunchy and bold with overdrive - even distortion!
High-Quality Hardware
The Epiphone ES-335 may be a cost-effective alternative to the Gibson classic, but no shortcuts have been taken when it comes to its hardware appointments. Sporting Epiphone's Deluxe machine heads, a tone-enhancing Graph Tech NuBone nut and a LockTone bridge/tailpiece - you can expect rock-solid tuning stability and fast, stress-free string changes.
