Gibson ES-335 (Spearmint) inc Hard Case Electric Guitar

For over sixty years, the Gibson ES-335 has remained the gold standard for semi-hollowbody electric guitars, captivating musicians across every genre from its debut in 1958. This legendary instrument continues to set the benchmark for versatility, allowing players to seamlessly transition between rock, blues, country, and metal with equal prowess. Now available in striking custom colours, this ES-335 maintains all the qualities that have made it one of the world's most cherished electric guitars. The guitar's construction features a layered maple/poplar/maple body for the top, back, and sides, paired with a solid maple centre block that produces the exceptional sustain, warmth, and resonant tone that defines quality semi-hollowbody instruments. This solid centre block also prevents the unwanted feedback commonly associated with full hollowbody guitars. The mahogany neck sports a comfortable Rounded C profile that suits a wide range of playing styles, topped with a rosewood fretboard featuring a 12" radius for effortless chord work and string bending across 22 medium jumbo frets with acrylic dot inlays. Premium hardware includes a Graph Tech nut and Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons for superior tuning stability, while the nickel-plated ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and aluminium Stop Bar tailpiece provide the solid string anchoring that contributes to the ES-335's renowned sustain. Gibson's Calibrated T-Type humbucker pickups in both neck and bridge positions offer an impressive tonal range, hand-wired to individual volume and tone controls with 500k potentiometers and Orange Drop tone capacitors. The three-way pickup selector switch and separate volume controls for each pickup allow complete tonal flexibility, all housed beneath stylish black Top Hat control knobs with silver reflectors. A Gibson hard-shell case is included for protection during transport.
