Gibson ES-335 2016, Cherry

There are certain guitars that stand the test of time and with its timeless design, effortless playability and rich history, it's easy to see why the Gibson ES-335 remains such an iconic guitar. Featuring a 3-ply Maple/Poplar/Maple body with a Maple centre block and Spruce bracing, it's finished in a classic Cherry. Delivering a rich and authentic tone, the 2016 ES-335 is super resonant and beautifully balanced; it just oozes that real Gibson vibe.

The neck is something special, crafted from Mahogany; it features a gorgeous bound Rosewood fingerboard, embellished with the original block Pearloid inlays. With 22 frets, a 12" radius and a 24.75" scale length it feels smooth and comfortable, equally at home playing slick lead work or heavy chord strumming. A pair of Burstbucker humbuckers delivers those classic '60s tones, deep, rich and resonant they offer great clarity.

These PAF style pickups feature unbalanced coils for a truly historic sound. With a Gibson hardcase, this guitar is a worthy addition to the ES-335 family.
