The Gibson ES-335 is a semi-hollow body semi-acoustic guitar introduced by the Gibson Guitar Corporation as part of its ES (Electric Spanish) series in 1958. It has a solid maple wood block running through the center of its body with hollow upper bouts and two violin-style f-holes cut into the top over the hollow chambers.[1] Gibson has released numerous variations and models based on the ES-335.
Quotes about the Gibson ES-335
The ES-335 has gone on to become the benchmark in which all other semi-hollow body guitars are measured. [...] Now, while it's true that the ES is perfect for blues and jazz, this massive semi-hollow is actually a lot more versatile than it may first seem – in fact, we'd go as far to say that it's one of the most adaptable guitars in Gibson's extensive lineup. The elegant ES-335 can be seen fronting stadium rock bands, laying down the foundations for pop punk, playing away the blues in a smoky club and so much more.
