    Vintage Vibe, Modern Muscle

    While some reissues merely look the part, this guitar plays it with absolute authority. Epiphone and Gibson Custom teamed up to sweat the small stuff, ensuring every inch of this instrument feels undeniably right in your hands. The solid centerblock tames unruly feedback while serving up sustain that hangs in the air long after you’ve left the stage.

    • One-Piece Mahogany Neck: Wrap your fretting hand around this time-traveler neck with its 1962 SlimTaper C profile — a shape so comfortable it practically plays itself.
    • Rosewood Fretboard: This classic canvas, adorned with mother-of-pearl small block inlays, offers a slick, premium playing surface that looks just as good as it feels.

    The Heart of the Tone

    A beautiful guitar is nothing without a beating heart, and this ES-335 pulses with pure vintage firepower. Lifted straight from the Gibson Custom Shop, the electronics under the hood are meticulously hand-wired to deliver that elusive, touch-sensitive dynamic range. Roll back the volume for a whisper-quiet purr, or dig in hard for a glorious, mid-range bark that cuts through the thickest mixes.

    • Unleash the Custombuckers: A pair of USA-made Gibson Custombuckers churn out thick, creamy tones that respond beautifully to every nuance of your picking attack.
    • Hand-Wired Heritage: Premium CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors ensure your tone stays clear, articulate, and completely under your control at any volume level.
    • Bulletproof Switching: Switchcraft pickup selectors and output jacks mean you can flip and plug with absolute confidence night after night.
