Gibson

From its arrival in 1958 and throughout its glory years, few ES-335s were built with figured maple tops, and those that remain are highly prized. The 2016 ES-335 Figured from Gibson Memphis capture this exotic-wood elegance in a great sounding and playing semi-acoustic. A tubeless Historic truss rod, PAF-style Burstbucker 1 & 2 pickups, a redesigned neck profile for increased strength and comfortable feel, and top-quality hardware including a new bridge with titanium saddles make this an outstanding semi by any standards.

Historically "unmatched" coil windings for vintage PAF tone with enhanced clarity. Calibrated sets for balanced output. Historically "unmatched" coil windings for vintage PAF tone with enhanced clarity. Calibrated sets for balanced output. Includes hardshell case.
