Overview

The debut of a long romance.

This was the first production year for the ES-335, which was designed to offer the warmer tones of a hollowbody with virtually no feedback. The compromise of a solid maple block running through its chambered body instead creates a hybrid sound that blends the best sonic aspects of both a solidbody and hollowbody. This model respects the original specs down to it 3-ply body and top made of maple/poplar/maple and Memphis Historic Spec pickups that deliver Patent-Applied-For tone. Comes with a traditional C-shaped neck and Kluson tuners.
