A favorite of top artists since its release in 1958, the ES-335 never disappoints. A set of T-Type humbuckers enhances this model's distinct sweet tone.

Overview

The Gibson ES-335 DOT is the cornerstone of the Gibson ES line-up. From its inaugural appearance in 1958, the Gibson ES-335 set an unmatched standard. The pearloid dot inlay rosewood fingerboard on a hand-rolled Rounded "C" mahogany neck remind players where it all started. Gibson's Calibrated T-Type humbucking pickups are paired with our hand-wired control assembly. The result is that versatile Gibson ES tone that players have craved for over 60 years. Tuning stability and precise intonation are provided by the Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, paired with light weight Aluminum ABR-1 bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, anchored by steel thumb-wheels and tailpiece studs.

I've been dreaming of owning a black 335 since the day I saw Roy Orbison's Black & White Night. I own (or have owned) most of Gibson's electric models, but I never thought I'd be in a position to spend the dough on a 335. I'm so glad I pulled the trigger -- I've finally found "my" guitar and it's worth every penny. Perfect construction, finish, feel, and sound. These Calibrated T-Type pickups are fantastic too -- Clear and articulate, never boomy or ear-piercing. Takes dirt with aplomb!
