Epiphone Jim James ES-335 70s Walnut Semi Hollowbody Guitar
Jim James of My Morning Jacket turns to his signature Epiphone ES-335 for its blend of vintage vibe and modern reliability. This semi-hollow guitar, finished in a stunning ‘70s Walnut, is a sonic chameleon perfect for jazz, rock, and indie. Its 5-ply laminated maple body and solid maple center block provide the resonance of a hollowbody with the feedback resistance of a solidbody, delivering incredible sustain. The Alnico Classic PRO humbuckers, wired with CTS pots and Orange Drop capacitors, offer a versatile tonal palette, from glassy cleans to growling overdrive.
The mahogany neck features a comfortable SlimTaper C profile, and the Indian laurel fingerboard is a smooth surface for any playing style. Kluson Waffleback tuners ensure stable tuning, while signature touches like the circle/arrow emblem and owl decal on the headstock give this guitar a unique personality.
Built for Players Who Demand Character and Clarity
The Epiphone Jim James ES-335 isn't content with being just another semi-hollow guitar. It's engineered to inspire creativity while handling whatever style you throw at it.
Alnico Classic PRO Pickups: These humbuckers pack vintage-voiced punch with modern clarity. The neck pickup delivers warm, rounded tones perfect for jazz and blues, while the bridge pickup brings articulate bite that cuts through any mix. Whether you're chasing shimmering arpeggios or thick rhythm chords, these pickups respond with dynamic range and harmonic richness.
Premium Electronics: CTS potentiometers and Orange Drop capacitors ensure your tone stays pure from guitar to amp. These quality components provide smooth volume and tone rolloffs, giving you precise control over your sound without muddiness or signal degradation.
Semi-Hollow Construction with Center Block: The 5-ply laminated maple body creates natural acoustic resonance, while the solid maple center block adds sustain and fights feedback at higher volumes. This construction gives you that airy, open quality hollowbodies are loved for, without the squealing headaches that can plague fully hollow guitars on loud stages.
Effortless Playability from First Fret to Last
A guitar this good-looking needs to feel as incredible as it sounds, and the Jim James ES-335 delivers comfort and responsiveness in spades.
SlimTaper Mahogany Neck: The C-profile neck sits comfortably in your hand without feeling chunky or cramped. It's the Goldilocks of neck profiles — just right for extended playing sessions, quick chord changes, and everything in between.
Indian Laurel Fingerboard: Smooth, durable, and topped with classic dot inlays, this fingerboard provides a familiar feel that veteran players will love and newcomers will quickly adapt to. The medium frets offer enough height for easy bending without feeling too chunky.
Vintage-Style Kluson Waffleback Tuners: These tuners aren't just about aesthetics (though they look undeniably cool). They provide smooth, precise tuning with excellent gear ratios that hold your tuning through aggressive playing and string bends.
Signature Style That Turns Heads and Holds Attention
Visual appeal matters, and the Jim James ES-335 brings vintage cool with artist-approved details that make it unmistakably unique.
‘70s Walnut Finish: This rich, warm finish captures the essence of the 1970s while remaining timeless. The walnut hue complements the guitar's classic lines and adds a layer of sophistication that stands out in any collection.
Jim James Signature Details: The circle/arrow emblem on the truss rod cover and owl decal on the headstock aren't just cosmetic flourishes — they're stamps of authenticity that connect you to Jim James' musical vision and artistic spirit.
Included Hardshell Case with Owl Logo: Your investment deserves protection, and Epiphone includes a quality hardshell case featuring the signature owl logo. It keeps your guitar safe during transport and storage while maintaining that signature aesthetic even when the guitar is packed away.
An Artist Signature That Earns Its Name
The Epiphone Jim James ES-335 ‘70s Walnut Semi Hollowbody is a thoughtfully designed instrument that honors Jim James' sonic vision while remaining accessible to players at every level. From its vintage-inspired construction to its pro-grade electronics, this guitar delivers inspiring tone and reliable performance that'll fuel your creativity for years to come.

I love 335s. I love
I love 335s. I love the way they look, I love the way they sound, and I love the way they play.
I just wanted to get that out of the way before proceeding.
I have no idea why I keep selling them, as I have regretted doing so every SINGLE time. So, when AMS offered the Jim James Walnut 335, reduc...

My New Number 1
There is absolutely nothing that I don't like about this Jim James version, ES335. From the thinner neck, to the Alinco Pro's, to the waffle back tuners, to the medium jumbo's and the stunning dark finish . . . I love everything about it. To stumble into an amazing sales price on it was a cherry on ...

I ordered it and it came with the neck pickup jammed at a weird angle and the front edge was touching the strings and wouldn’t move. I sent it back for a replacement. The finish on the first one was a lot darker than the Gibson model but you could still see the grain. The replacement was even darker...

A great guitar
In the 1970’s I owned a Gibson ES 335 in a walnut finish. I’ve tried to buy one recently but I’m unwilling to pay $5,000.00. Epiphone comes along with the Jim James ES 335 and it is amazing. Right off it has a beautiful walnut finish and a fantastic 70’s style neck. Not too big or fat yet not too sm...
