Gibson - ES-335 DOT Semi-Hollow Body Electric - Vintage Burst

Description

The Gibson ES-335 DOT is the cornerstone of the Gibson ES line. Since its introduction in 1958, it has set an unrivaled benchmark. The rosewood fingerboard with pearl dot inlays on a hand-rolled rounded “C” mahogany neck reminds players of the brand’s origins. Gibson-calibrated T-Type humbucking pickups are paired with our hand-wired control system. The result is the versatile Gibson ES sound that players have craved for over 60 years. Tuning stability and accurate intonation are provided by Vintage Deluxe tuners with Keystone buttons, paired with a lightweight aluminum ABR-1 bridge and Stop Bar tailpiece, held in place by steel thumbwheels and tailpiece studs.
