Probably the best overall sounding electric guitar I've ever played. Rockabilly, country, rock, jazz, and especially blues all sound great on this guitar. When I received it, I spent 3 hours playing it. No matter what style I threw at it, it handled it with ease. The '57 Classic humbuckers are the best Gibson makes, in my opinion. They're not too bright or too dark, and they have a warmth to them that the other humbuckers don't. The neck pickup is great for jazz if you roll the tone back to around 5, but if you leave the tone on 10, it is actually very bright and articulate, which is rare for a neck humbucker. The bridge pickup is bright and snappy, but without being to harsh. Excellent blues tone and a pretty decent country tone on some songs. The middle position with both pickups is full, rich, and has a shimmer that I haven't heard from most humbucker-equipped guitars. The best sounding Gibson I've ever played, hands-down.

Not a lot of features, but it's a classic design that's stood the test of time, so it doesn't need a lot of bells and whistles.

I was blown away at how great the playability is on this guitar. I like fat necks, but the slim-taper on this guitar is very comfortable and fast. Also the finish on the back of the neck doesn't get sticky like it does on my Les Paul. Also, it is very comforable for such a big guitar. You almost forget you're playing a semi-hollow after a while. I have to give the guys at ZZounds credit, too, because the setup on this guitar is perfect. Nice, low action, perfect intonation...it was ready to play right out of the box.

I've heard horror stories about Gibson's quality control, but I've owned 2 Les Pauls, 3 SG's, and even 3 Epiphones...all of which were top-notch guitars. I've never had any issues with any Gibsons, including this one. I went over this guitar with a fine-toothed comb, but couldn't find any flaws. Maybe I'm just lucky!

It's expensive, but you get what you pay for. The price on these has steadily increased over the past few years, so my advice is if you're thinking of getting one, get it now!

I got this one in vintage sunburst, and it is probably the best looking guitar I've ever owned. Gibson ES-335's are legendary, and for good reason. Everybody wants one. I've wanted one ever since I was 11 (I'm 32, now). It's the best of both worlds....it sounds like a hollowbody, but with the sustain and power of a solidbody.

most of my life/guitar/bass /some key borad.some steel guitar.

mostly country /blues /jazz /rock /folk.Chet Attkins is the man./for the blues BB,King MEREL HAGGARD is my #1 singer /muscain.

I thought that the sound was a dissapoitment the tone was flatter and deeper than what i believe is a better guitar the yamaha SA 2200

not bad but again failes in comparison to the SA 2200

very poorly put together there have been complaints of people getting splinters from the inside of the guitar not a good finish again not as good as the SA 2200

NOT WORTH THE MONEY!! SA 2200 999.00 pounds absolute bargain for what it includes (listed below) Body:laminated figured maple Neck:Glued-in Fingerboard:Ebony, 350mm (13.75") radius frets:22 Scale length:629mm (24.75) Pickups:two alnico v humbuckers Controls:three-position pickup selector, two volumes, two tones (each with coil split push-push switch) Bridge:six-saddle fixed type, bar tailpiece

cant really coment on this guitar as i dont own one but generaly the support for gibson guitars are good

If I was offered a 335 or a yamaha 2200 the yamaha would be my choice everytime

This is the best sounding guitar I have ever played. This guitar allows me achieve the sound that I have always dreamed of. The classis '57 humbuckers kick ass. No other guitar is necessary with this baby.
