The Gibson ES-355 has been a favorite among players for decades, and Epiphone is proud to present the Futura ES-355 -- a contemporary interpretation of the legendary semi-hollow design first introduced in 1958.


Listen to the Futura ES-355 our exclusive demo:


This model features a solid maple centerblock with a weight-relief window, enhancing sustain and reducing feedback while keeping the guitar lightweight and comfortable. A LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and LockTone Stop Bar tailpiece provide rock-solid intonation and sustain, while Posi-Lok strap buttons keep your strap secure without additional hardware. The mahogany neck sports a fast-playing Modern C profile and a bound ebony fingerboard with 22 stainless steel medium jumbo frets and elegant Super 400-style pearloid split block inlays. A 10"-14" compound radius ensures smooth chording and effortless bends. The 5-ply bound Kalamazoo headstock is fitted with locking Grover Rotomatic tuners, a Graph Tech nut, and mother-of-pearl Epiphone and Custom split diamond inlays.

The Futura ES-355 is powered by a pair of Epiphone's ProBucker Ignite humbuckers, delivering dynamic, articulate tone with plenty of clarity. Push/pull volume and tone controls unlock coil-splitting and phase options for maximum versatility. Whether you're after a modern aesthetic, a wide tonal palette, or a high-quality semi-hollowbody, the Futura ES-355 is ready to inspire. Each one ships with a premium gig bag, so it's prepared to go wherever your music… read more takes you.
