Epiphone was already highly respected and experienced in making semi-hollowbody electric guitars by the time Gibson launched the ES335 in the late 1950s. The Riviera and Sheraton were two of Epiphone’s most popular semi-hollow models at the time and original examples can command eye-watering prices.

The Epiphone ES335 may be incredibly affordable but it’s still built with Epiphone’s 60-plus years of experience in creating fine semi-hollowbody guitars with incredible tone and amazing value.

This ES335 is Epiphone’s version of the historic ES-335 that has been wowing guitar players all over the world for more than six decades.

From its first appearance in 1958, the Gibson™ ES-335 set an unmatched standard that holds up to this day.

This Epiphone ES-335 is no exception and is simply a bargain for guitar players who want the classic sound of a semi-hollowbody ES-335 at an accessible price.

The craftsmanship of the Epiphone ES-335 is superb and authentic features include the laminated Maple top, back and sides coupled with a solid Maple tone block that controls feedback while creating the amazing sustain, warmth, and resonant tone that players crave in a semi-hollow instrument.

Epiphone’s Alnico Classic PRO™ Humbuckers deliver a wide range of PAF inspired vintage sounds while the rounded C neck profile is extremely comfortable and easy to play. The sound of the Epiphone ES335 can be heard in a wide variety of musical styles that include rock, blues, country, jazz and fusion. The bell-like articulation is here in spades with notes that spring to life, then gently decay into sweet sustain.

The warm and smooth overdriven tones that has made the original ES335 such a journeyman guitar is on tap with the Epiphone ES-335’s Alnico Classic PRO Humbucking pickups. Voiced for the perfect vintage tone, these pickups deliver the warmth, punch and bite you expect from a semi-hollowbody electric guitar.

The 60s style Kalamazoo headstock also includes the Crown inlay found on the original.
