Epiphone ES-355 Semi-Hollowbody Electric Guitar - Ebony

Pursuing a deeper connection with your instrument often means choosing one that responds with both authority and nuance. Available as a Guitar Center Exclusive in a handsome ebony finish, the Epiphone ES-355 semi-hollow electric guitar is built for players who want clarity under gain, expressive control at lower volumes, and a visual presence that reflects its heritage. Its center-block semi-hollowbody construction, ebony fingerboard and ProBucker Custom pickups deliver articulate mids, controlled resonance and feedback resistance suited to demanding performance environments. Finished with multi-ply binding and premium appointments, this model brings refined ES-355 character into a modern, stage-ready format.

Ebony Fingerboard and Rounded C Neck

The ES-355's set mahogany neck features a rounded C profile that supports fluid movement across the 24.75" scale. An ebony fingerboard adds snap and definition to each note, while pearloid block inlays provide clear visual reference across 22 frets. The 12" radius balances chord stability and bending comfort, creating a confident feel for both rhythm work and melodic phrasing.

ProBucker Custom Pickups and Traditional Control Layout

Dual ProBucker Custom humbuckers deliver balanced output with warm lows and articulate high-frequency response. The classic 2 Volume, 2 Tone and 3-way toggle configuration allows direct tonal shaping without complexity. Subtle adjustments translate immediately, whether blending pickups for rhythm textures or isolating the bridge position for sharper attack and definition.

Semi-Hollow Construction With Maple Center Block

A 5-ply maple and poplar body surrounds a solid maple center block that anchors the instrument’s voice. This construction preserves the airiness associated with semi-hollowbody designs while tightening the low end and reducing uncontrolled feedback at higher volumes. Spruce contour bracing adds structural focus, helping the guitar maintain clarity when pushed through driven amplifiers or layered in a mix.

LockTone Hardware and Premium Detailing

A LockTone Tune-O-Matic bridge and stop bar tailpiece provide solid intonation and string coupling, while Grover Rotomatic tuners maintain tuning stability through repeated use. Multi-ply binding along the body and single-ply fingerboard binding reinforce both durability and visual distinction. The Kalamazoo-style headstock features the Double Diamond inlay, underscoring the ES-355 lineage with a refined aesthetic.

Refined Performance With Classic ES Character

From rehearsal rooms to stage lighting, the Epiphone ES-355 semi-hollow electric guitar offers the resonance, control and presence that define the 355 platform. Available exclusively at Guitar Center in this ebony finish, the Epiphone ES-355 semi-hollow electric guitar blends classic ES heritage with modern reliability for players who demand expressive tone and stage-ready performance.
