Looking for major semi-acoustic electric guitar tone, looks and playing feel at a minor price? The ES-335 Studio delivers like nothing else on the planet, and all with the 100% American-made quality of Gibson Memphis. Legendary ES-335 lines, genuine Gibson humbucking pickups, first-class hardware, and the popular no-nonsense Studio Series ethos make this guitar an unbeatable value, but a full-bore performer by any standards. In short, it’s the easiest way to get your foot into the ES-335 door, without compromising an ounce of your precious tone.
The ES-335 Studio is crafted to the classic formula of the Gibson ES-335, a near overnight success upon its introduction in 1958. Identical to the original specs are its body made from laminated maple with an arched top, two f-holes, and a solid maple core for enhanced clarity and sustain. Its stripped-down Studio ethos is revealed in a lack of binding and pickguard, streamlined controls, and simplified gold headstock logo. A major savings in price comes without compromise of quality, though, as evident in its Grover™ Rotomatic® tuners, TonePros™ AVR2 bridge and long-anchor tailpiece studs, CTS™ pots with Orange Drop tone caps, and Gibson’s 57 Classic (neck) and hotter Super 57 (bridge) humbucking pickups.
