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.
5-Ply Layered Maple and Poplar Body: This sonic foundation resonates with a rich, woody warmth, anchored by a solid maple centerblock that keeps howling feedback firmly in check.
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.
Dressed to Impress
Let’s be honest: aesthetics absolutely matter. This instrument drips with old-school cool, flashing premium appointments that will make your bandmates green with envy. From the iconic headstock shape to the historic hardware, every detail has been obsessed over to guarantee you look like a legend under the stage lights. Plus, it arrives resting safely in a retro-inspired hardshell case.
Iconic Headstock: The coveted Gibson-style "Open Book" headstock proudly displays a mother-of-pearl Crown and Epiphone logo, signaling serious quality.
Rock-Solid Tuning: Nickel Epiphone Deluxe double-ring tuners not only nail the vintage aesthetic but keep your tuning incredibly stable through aggressive vibrato.
Premium Protection: A plush brown and pink hardshell case, complete with the Inspired by Gibson logo, keeps your prized tone machine safe from the hazards of the road.
