The Gibson ES-335 is the quintessential Gibson ES (Electric Spanish) guitar. The first “thinline” archtop of its kind, the historic ES-335 is considered the standard for semi-hollowbody guitars to this day. With impeccable sounds across its wide-ranging tonal palette, the ES-335 can be found in ...the hands of jazz, blues, and rock players all over the globe. For 2020, Gibson brings the ES-335 to you with all the same exquisite craftsmanship and detailed appointments that made the original a smash hit when it was introduced in 1958. And as a central feature, it features a satisfyingly rounded C neck profile that harkens back to Gibson’s vaunted instruments of the late 1950s.

I've had mine about a month so far and couldn't be happier. An amazing beautiful guitar with an amazing tone. Sounds good even unplugged. Had the guitar set-up at Sweetwater and it came ready to go. Shout-out to Alan Carter for making the ordering process super smooth and easy.
Unbelievable.... Top Shelf in every aspect!

What can I say, it arrived I waited the recommended 24 hours to open the box (that was tough lol)And found it in excellent condition and after a little tuning immediately playable. Action was fine, the T type pickups have an awesome sound, exactly what I was looking for. I play blues, rock, jazz and a bit of country. This guitar does it all. I clearly believe, if you could only… read more have one guitar, the ES335 would be the best choice. I thank you again Parker and Sweetwater and absolutely believe you are setting the benchmark in Customer Service for all others to follow. Thanks again.
This is a nice one!

A beautiful figured cherry top without the figured up-charge. Seeing pictures of the actual guitar is a plus with Sweetwater. Thanks to rep Austin Z for the help with a shipping snafu. Neck plays so smooth. Tone is classic 335. The color and grain is stunning. I am currently playing through a Vox 15 and a Fender 65 Princeton Reverb. I am loving this guitar!
Awesome birthday gift!

My Cherry Red ES 335 arrived on the west coast a day early. It was set up perfectly and ready to rock right out of the box. I've wanted one for many years and finally decided to buy it after my cousin/best friend died suddenly. Life is short. Kudos to Calvin Hull for Top-Star customer service. He's been my rep for several years and is consistently awesome! The Sweetwater… read more candy always sweetens the deal for my wife too!

Flawless build quality Mine was set up perfectly probably the best out of the case set up ever I have 30 guitars so I can tell from experience Love the neck even with my smaller hands I can rip on this axe Comfortable and lighter than my Les Pauls Super versatile The neck pick up is not muddy it's clear and has a bit of brightness when you dig in It's one of my favorite guitars
Beautiful Guitar

Looks, sounds and plays beautifully. Playing the neck pickup with my California Tweed gives me the exact "smooth jazz" sound I was looking for. Having separate volume and tone controls for each pickup lets me dial in just about any sound I want when using the center pickup position. I was worried about how big the body looked and whether it would be comfortable to play (I'm 5/4"tall).… read more Not an issue, it's nice and comfy.

If you've been waiting to pull the trigger, now is the time to act. Exceptional build quality and playability. Hats off to JC and the artisans at Gibson for righting the ship.
